A monospaced slab-serif with soft, rounded corners and heavy, blocky serifs that read like built-in underlines on many letters. Strokes stay even and low-contrast, with generous curves in bowls and a slightly compact, vertical rhythm that keeps columns tidy. The x-height is notably tall, and counters are open, helping small details—like joins and terminals—remain clear. Overall proportions and spacing feel consistent across the set, reinforcing a steady, machine-like cadence.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code snippets, terminal-style UI, tables, forms, and structured listings. The sturdy slabs and tall x-height support readability in compact sizes, making it practical for labels, instructions, and document-like layouts where consistent character width is an advantage.
The font projects a classic typewriter and office-document character, mixing industrial sturdiness with a rounded, approachable softness. Its monospaced rhythm suggests precision and structure, while the curved terminals keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical. The tone is nostalgic and practical, with a clear, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to evoke typewriter and monospaced system typography while adding a softer, more contemporary rounded finish. It prioritizes consistent spacing, strong baseline anchoring, and clear, repeatable forms for dependable performance in structured text.
Many glyphs show pronounced baseline slabs that visually anchor lines of text, creating a distinctive “underlined” texture in running copy. Numerals are strong and stable with clear silhouettes, and punctuation matches the same rounded, slabbed construction for a cohesive overall color.
