A slanted slab-serif design with sturdy, blocky serifs and flat, square-ended terminals that keep the texture crisp and mechanical. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with minimal modulation and a broad, horizontally oriented feel. The letterforms are drawn on a consistent width, producing a steady rhythm and clearly aligned verticals; curves are rounded but controlled, with open apertures and generous interior space in characters like e, a, and s. Numerals follow the same robust structure, with simple, readable shapes and firm base serifs where applicable.
It suits contexts where alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as code snippets, tabular data, forms, and technical documentation. The sturdy slabs and open counters also make it effective for short editorial blocks, captions, and utilitarian display settings where a retro-document feel is desirable.
The overall tone reads as typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its disciplined spacing and firm slab details give it an institutional, document-oriented character—serious, practical, and slightly nostalgic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the functional regularity of monospaced typography with the authority and clarity of a slab-serif voice. It aims for dependable legibility and a consistent, system-like rhythm while adding character through square terminals and firm serif geometry.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, but the construction remains fairly straight and engineered, preserving clarity. The wide set and consistent character widths create a strong grid-like cadence that emphasizes alignment and repeatability in running text.
