A slanted, monospaced slab-serif with generously rounded, bracketed serifs and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with a slightly tapered, ink-friendly feel at joins and terminals that keeps the texture from looking rigid. The proportions read broad and stable, while the italic angle adds forward motion; bowls are open, counters are clear, and forms like the single-storey a and g reinforce a practical, workmanlike rhythm. Overall spacing is consistent and mechanical in cadence, but the rounded slab details give the letterforms a warmer edge.
Well-suited to situations that benefit from fixed-width alignment and strong character differentiation, such as coding environments, terminal-style interfaces, tables, and technical documentation. The rounded slab serifs also work nicely for short editorial uses like captions, pull quotes, packaging details, and retro-styled UI labels where a typewriter flavor is desired.
The face conveys a classic typewriter-meets-editorial tone: functional and trustworthy, yet friendly rather than severe. Its slant and rounded slabs suggest motion and personality, evoking analog writing and mid-century printed matter without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable monospaced reading experience while adding warmth through rounded slab serifs and an italic stance. It balances utilitarian structure with a softer, more personable finish, aiming for clarity in constrained layouts without sacrificing character.
Uppercase has a robust, sign-like presence, while the lowercase stays compact and readable with distinctive, simple constructions. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible at a glance, matching the same softened slab vocabulary for a cohesive, uniform color in text.
