A streamlined italic sans with monospaced spacing and a consistent, even rhythm. Strokes are smooth and low in modulation, with rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture calm rather than sharp. Curves are broadly drawn (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0), while straight strokes stay simple and slightly softened at the ends. The italic angle is steady across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive forward-leaning line without calligraphic flair.
Well suited to environments where fixed character widths matter, such as code displays, terminal-style interfaces, and tabular readouts. The clean italic slant also works for emphasis within UI text, technical documentation, captions, and compact editorial settings where legibility and consistent alignment are priorities.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a friendly clarity that avoids severity. Its monospaced cadence and restrained shapes suggest precision and structure, while the rounded detailing keeps it approachable for everyday interface and editorial use.
Designed to deliver a practical monospaced reading experience with a contemporary italic voice, balancing mechanical regularity with softened, rounded forms for comfortable scanning. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, alignment, and dependable texture across mixed-case text and numerals.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g”, a flat-topped “t”, and a simple, open “e” that preserves clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with the slashed “7” adding quick differentiation. The generous internal counters and open apertures help maintain readability in continuous text despite the italic slant.
