A slanted, monospaced sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Letterforms are built from simple geometric curves and straight segments, producing rounded bowls (C, O, Q) and crisp, no-nonsense joins. Terminals are mostly flat and unadorned, with a consistent rightward lean that keeps the texture lively while preserving grid-like regularity. Counters are open and shapes are compact, giving the alphabet a dense, punchy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to settings where fixed-width alignment matters, such as code snippets, terminal-style interfaces, tables, and structured data. The italic slant and compact forms can also work in technical documentation, labels, and small-to-medium editorial callouts where a brisk, engineered texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, like labeling, instrumentation, or system text with a purposeful slant. Its steady cadence and compact forms also evoke a retro-mechanical or sporty sensibility, suggesting motion and efficiency without becoming expressive or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a clear, uniform-width sans for structured text while adding forward motion through an italic angle. The focus appears to be consistency and predictable spacing, with clean geometry intended to stay legible and orderly in dense, information-driven layouts.
Numerals are simple and highly uniform, matching the squared-off, monoline construction and the consistent slant of the letters. The monospaced spacing creates an evenly striped text color, making word shapes less variable but very predictable, especially in tabular or code-like layouts.
