A monospaced slab serif with unbracketed, square-cut terminals and a very open, lightly drawn texture. Strokes stay largely even, with clean right-angle joins and flat serifs that read like small horizontal and vertical tabs. Counters are generous and the overall rhythm is consistent and mechanical, with straightforward, upright construction and minimal modulation. The numerals and capitals maintain a tidy, grid-friendly presence, while the lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike structure that preserves spacing regularity.
Well-suited to settings where fixed spacing is important, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, data tables, forms, and technical documentation. It can also work for headings or labeling in retro-technical or utilitarian design systems where a monospaced slab serif texture is desired.
The font conveys a practical, technical tone with a mild typewriter and early-computing feel. Its restrained detailing and consistent spacing create an orderly, matter-of-fact voice that reads as functional rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, monospaced reading experience with sturdy slab cues, balancing a light, airy color with crisp, squared terminals. It prioritizes regular rhythm, predictable widths, and straightforward letterforms for systematic layouts and functional typography.
In text, the light color and ample internal space keep lines from feeling dense, while the squared serifs add just enough structure to improve character definition. The overall impression is clean and systematic, favoring clarity and regularity over calligraphic warmth.
