This is a monospaced slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins that soften the otherwise rigid, mechanical skeleton. Strokes are even and steady, with minimal modulation, and the letterforms sit upright with straightforward proportions. Curves are open and clear (notably in C, G, and e), while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent rhythm across the set. Details like the small hooked descenders and slightly blunted terminals give the shapes a subtly worn, print-like finish without becoming distressed.
It performs well where fixed-width alignment is beneficial, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, and forms. The sturdy slab serifs and clear counters also make it suitable for technical documentation, labeling, and interfaces that want a subtle typewriter flavor without sacrificing straightforward readability.
The overall tone reads as typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike—practical, familiar, and slightly nostalgic. It suggests forms built for reliable output rather than display flourish, with a calm, procedural feel that suits structured content and documentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable monospaced reading experience with the added authority of slab serifs—balancing strict spacing and mechanical structure with slightly softened corners for long-form comfort and a familiar, archival tone.
The monospaced spacing creates a strong grid cadence in text, and the slab serifs add a firm baseline and cap-line presence. Numerals are clear and relatively simple, with a classic, utilitarian look that matches the alphabet’s mechanical rhythm.
