A monospaced slab-serif design with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a compact, workmanlike rhythm. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off, reinforcing a mechanical, typed texture. Counters are open and simple, with slightly rounded joins that keep the forms from feeling overly rigid. The lowercase shows a straightforward construction with single-storey a and g, and punctuation and dots read as square, contributing to a crisp, grid-aligned look.
Well suited to code displays, terminals, and other monospaced settings where alignment matters. It also works effectively in technical documentation, forms, and data-forward layouts, and can lend a typewritten character to editorial pull quotes, captions, and short text blocks.
The font conveys a practical, document-first tone reminiscent of typed manuscripts and office output. Its firm slabs and steady spacing give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels both technical and comfortably retro.
Likely intended to deliver a dependable monospaced reading experience with the warmth and authority of slab serifs. The design emphasizes predictable spacing, strong letterforms, and clear word shapes to support structured text and tabular content while evoking a classic typewritten aesthetic.
Across both the character grid and the text sample, spacing remains consistent and disciplined, producing a strong vertical cadence in paragraphs. The numerals and capitals appear deliberately plain and sturdy, prioritizing clarity over flourish, with a slightly heavy baseline presence typical of slab-serif typewriter styles.
