A monospaced slab-serif with a delicate, linear stroke and softly rounded corners. The letterforms are narrow-to-normal in footprint with consistent cell-to-cell rhythm, giving an even, mechanical spacing typical of fixed-width designs. Serifs read as small, sturdy slabs with rounded transitions rather than sharp brackets, and curves in bowls and terminals stay smooth and restrained. Uppercase proportions are tidy and classical, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure; numerals are similarly simple, with single-storey forms where expected and clear, open counters.
Well-suited to contexts where strict alignment matters, such as code snippets, terminal-like UI, tables, and form fields. It can also work for captions, footnotes, and technical documentation where a light, orderly texture and predictable spacing are desired.
The overall tone is typewriter-like and archival, balancing a technical, utilitarian feel with a gentle softness from the rounded details. It suggests paperwork, cataloging, and understated editorial work rather than loud display typography. The even spacing and light color lend a calm, measured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, typewriter-inspired reading experience with disciplined monospaced rhythm, softened by rounded slab details for a friendlier, less brittle texture in continuous text.
Curves and joins appear consistently softened across the set, which reduces harshness at small sizes while preserving a crisp, printed look. The fixed advance width creates a rigid grid alignment that emphasizes structure and regularity in running text.
