A heavy, monospaced slab serif with compact, squared counters and firm, rectangular serifs. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently weighty, with flat terminals and a generally boxy construction that keeps letters visually centered in their fixed widths. Curves (such as in C, O, and S) are sturdy and slightly squared-off, while joins and corners read crisp and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same robust, workmanlike logic, with broad forms and clear, stable silhouettes.
Well suited for code samples, terminal-style interfaces, and other contexts where monospaced alignment is valuable. The sturdy slabs and emphatic shapes also work well for labels, bold headings, utilitarian branding moments, and short technical copy where a strong, engineered texture is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking typewriter and stamped-label aesthetics. Its dense rhythm and emphatic slabs communicate solidity and authority, giving text a no-nonsense, technical feel rather than a delicate or expressive one.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust monospaced voice with slab-serif authority—combining typewriter-like regularity with heavier, squarer details for impact and clarity in structured layouts.
Because every character occupies the same width, spacing becomes a defining visual feature: long lines form a strong, even grid that amplifies the font’s mechanical regularity. The bold slabs and squared detailing help individual glyphs stay distinct at display sizes, while the dense color can become visually heavy in extended passages.
