A monospaced slab-serif with very thin, even strokes and softly rounded terminals. Serifs are pronounced and slightly bracketed, giving each character a steady, anchored stance despite the light weight. Counters are open and the curves (notably in C, G, S, and numerals) are smooth and generous, while joins and corners avoid sharpness, favoring a friendly, softened geometry. The rhythm is regular and mechanical in spacing, but the letterforms keep a gentle, slightly humanized feel through rounded details and modest modulation in curvature.
Well-suited to environments where fixed-width alignment matters, such as code, terminal interfaces, tabular readouts, and forms. The light, even color and open shapes also work for captions and technical documentation where a neutral, steady voice is preferred. For longer passages, it can bring a typewritten texture without feeling overly harsh due to its rounded finishing.
The overall tone reads as classic and utilitarian, with an unmistakable typewriter/monospace cadence. Rounded slab details soften the impression, making it feel approachable and calm rather than stark or industrial. It suggests a quiet, academic or archival mood—orderly and legible with a subtle retro charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, monospaced reading experience with the authority of slab serifs, tempered by rounded terminals for a more approachable texture. It prioritizes regular rhythm and alignment while keeping letterforms familiar and comfortably legible.
Capitals have a traditional, bookish structure with clear serifs and stable proportions, while lowercase forms remain simple and readable at text sizes. Numerals are clean and straightforward, maintaining the same monospaced alignment and light, consistent stroke color across the set.
