A monospaced slab-serif with flat, square-ended terminals and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are evenly weighted with minimal contrast, producing a calm texture across lines and a consistent color in paragraphs. Serifs read as sturdy slabs rather than delicate brackets, and curves (C, O, S) stay relatively open and disciplined, balancing round forms against crisp horizontal and vertical cuts. The numerals are clear and straightforward, matching the same structured, cell-friendly proportions as the letters.
Well suited to code samples, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout where strict character alignment matters. It also works for tables, technical documentation, forms, and labeling systems where clarity and consistent spacing take priority over typographic nuance.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a clear typewriter and engineering-document feel. Its squared terminals and disciplined spacing lend a slightly retro, institutional character that reads as reliable rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable legibility in a fixed-width environment while preserving a traditional slab-serif voice. Its square terminals and sturdy serifs suggest a goal of combining typewriter practicality with a more structured, editorially familiar serif silhouette.
The fixed-width spacing creates prominent vertical alignment in text, reinforcing a gridlike cadence that suits code-like layouts and tabular material. Uppercase forms feel formal and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains strong presence due to the tall x-height and simple, durable detailing.
