A sturdy slab serif with consistent, even stroke weight and a calm, mechanical rhythm. The letterforms are built on simple geometric strokes with squared terminals and prominent slab serifs, softened by subtle rounding in corners and joins. Counters are generally open and clear, with straightforward bowls and a compact, workmanlike construction that keeps shapes legible at text sizes. Overall proportions feel generous horizontally, with stable spacing and an even texture across lines.
Well-suited to settings that benefit from steady alignment and clear, repeatable letterforms, such as code-adjacent UI, tabular data, forms, and technical documentation. It also works for captions, labels, and editorial sidebars where a structured, typewriter-like texture supports readability.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a familiar typewriter and office-document feel. It reads as dependable and technical rather than expressive, lending a mildly retro, archival character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab serif for practical reading and system-like communication, prioritizing consistency, clarity, and a familiar typewritten texture over stylistic flourish.
Curves and diagonals stay controlled and economical, giving the face a measured, engineered presence. The serif treatment is consistent across capitals and lowercase, helping maintain a steady, grid-like cadence in longer passages.
