A slanted, monospaced slab-serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and visibly rounded terminals. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous interior counters and a steady, mechanical rhythm from cell to cell. Serifs are blocky but softened, and many joins show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that add crispness at small sizes. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and slightly squarish in feel, while horizontals and diagonals maintain a consistent, even color across text.
Well-suited for interfaces and layouts that benefit from strict character alignment, such as coding environments, tables, and technical readouts. The soft slab details also make it effective for packaging, headlines, and posters that want a retro, typewriter-like texture without feeling harsh.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and practical, combining a utilitarian voice with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as vintage and approachable rather than formal, with a hint of editorial grit and workshop authenticity.
The design appears intended to merge monospaced utility with a softer, more personable slab-serif finish. By keeping contrast low and proportions roomy while rounding terminals and adding small cut-ins at joins, it aims for dependable legibility with a distinctive, nostalgic texture.
Uppercase forms have a stable, grounded stance with prominent slabs, while lowercase shapes keep a compact, efficient silhouette in running text. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with classic, straightforward construction that matches the font’s mechanical pacing.
