A slanted sans with monospaced spacing and a wide stance, built from clean, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and fairly circular, while terminals are predominantly straight-cut, producing crisp entry and exit points. The overall rhythm is even and systematic, with generous internal space in letters like O, D, and P and clear separation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same engineered geometry, with straightforward construction and consistent width across the set.
Well-suited to code editors, terminal or console interfaces, and tabular settings where consistent character width improves alignment. It also fits UI labels, captions, and technical documentation that benefit from a clean, unobtrusive texture and clear glyph separation.
The font reads as pragmatic and technical, with an understated contemporary tone. Its disciplined spacing and steady slant evoke coding, instrumentation, and interface typography more than expressive or decorative lettering.
Designed to provide a straightforward, space-efficient system face that remains readable under alignment-heavy conditions. The goal appears to balance a modern geometric skeleton with a practical slant for emphasis while keeping forms simple and consistent.
Diagonal strokes are prominent and slightly forward-leaning, and the wide proportions help keep counters open at smaller sizes. Forms like the single-storey a and g reinforce a simplified, functional construction, while the uniform character widths create a grid-like texture in paragraphs.
