A monospaced slab-serif design with consistent, near-monoline strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs are sturdy and blocky but not sharp, giving terminals a cushioned feel. Proportions are relatively broad with generous internal spacing, and round letters stay open and even, supporting a steady, grid-like rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a single-storey “a” and simple, workmanlike details that prioritize clarity over flourish.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from strict character alignment and predictable spacing, such as code samples, terminal-style interfaces, tabular data, forms, and labeling systems. It also works for editorial sidebars or retro-technical styling where a typewriter flavor is desired without harsh, sharp serif edges.
The overall tone reads as typewriter-inspired and functional, with a calm, matter-of-fact presence. Rounded slab details temper the mechanical structure, adding a friendly, approachable warmth while keeping a technical, no-nonsense character.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability and alignment in structured layouts, combining a classic typewriter cue with softer, rounded slab terminals to feel less austere. It aims for an even, controlled texture that remains clear and consistent across mixed-case text and numerals.
In text, the fixed advance width creates prominent vertical alignment and an even texture, especially noticeable in long lines. The figures are simple and consistent, and the punctuation and dots appear sturdy enough to hold up at typical reading sizes without becoming fussy.
