This is an italic, monospaced slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a sturdy, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp terminals and a generally boxy construction, giving letters a firm footprint on the baseline. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the fixed character width produces an orderly, grid-like texture in text. Counters are open and simple, with compact curves and flat-ended joins that keep forms clean at small sizes.
It works well where strict alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, forms, and technical documentation. The italic character also suits emphasis in editorial settings—notes, annotations, and sidebars—while preserving monospaced alignment for structured layouts.
The overall tone evokes classic typewriter and early-digital documentation aesthetics: practical, straightforward, and slightly nostalgic. Its italic slant adds a subtle human touch, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and matter-of-fact rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to modernize a typewriter-derived slab serif voice into a clean, consistent monospaced italic for practical composition. It prioritizes predictable rhythm, robust serifs, and clear word shapes for utilitarian text settings with a classic, archival flavor.
Figures appear lining and tabular in feel, matching the monospaced cadence, and punctuation inherits the same squared, sturdy detailing. In running text the regular spacing creates a measured, mechanical color that reads like code, notes, or annotated copy.
