A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a consistent, mechanical rhythm. Strokes remain relatively even in thickness, with clean joins and crisp terminals that keep the letterforms clear at text sizes. The uppercase is compact and upright in construction despite the slant, while the lowercase shows open bowls and straightforward shapes that read evenly across a fixed advance. Numerals follow the same no-nonsense structure, with simple curves and firm horizontal feet that reinforce the utilitarian tone.
This face is well suited to settings that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code blocks, terminal-style UI, forms, logs, and tabular material. It can also work for editorial sidebars, footnotes, and instructional text where a typewriter flavor and steady rhythm support scanning.
The overall tone is typewriter-like and workmanlike, with a reserved, editorial character. Its slant adds a hint of motion and emphasis, but the squared serifs and steady spacing keep it grounded and practical. The impression is retro-technical—suited to documents, notes, and systems where clarity and cadence matter more than flourish.
The design appears intended to combine a typewriter-like grid discipline with the added structure and emphasis of slab serifs. The oblique posture suggests an aim for readable emphasis without sacrificing the predictable spacing and utilitarian feel.
The fixed-width spacing creates a pronounced grid-like texture in paragraphs, and the slab serifs help maintain word shape when set in all caps or mixed case. Curves are generous and counters stay open, which helps prevent the face from feeling cramped despite the rigid spacing.
