A compact, slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and tightly controlled geometry. Curves are broad and round while joins and terminals are clean and matter-of-fact, giving letters a solid, engineered feel. The rhythm is even and regular, with consistent spacing and a disciplined vertical/horizontal structure that keeps paragraphs looking orderly. Numerals and capitals read clearly at a glance, with simplified shapes and minimal detail.
Works well where a steady, grid-friendly texture is helpful—UI labels, settings screens, data tables, terminals, and technical documentation. The sturdy shapes also suit short, high-impact applications such as posters, headers, or utilitarian packaging where a technical tone is desired.
The overall tone feels functional and technical, with a subtle retro-computing or industrial voice. Its slant adds forward motion and urgency without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the impression pragmatic and workmanlike.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, systemlike reading experience with a brisk, forward-leaning stance. It prioritizes regularity, clarity, and an engineered simplicity that holds together in dense text as well as in bold, compact headings.
Rounded counters and generous inner spaces help maintain clarity, while the uniformity of character widths produces a predictable texture in lines of text. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, supporting a cohesive “system” aesthetic.
