A monospaced slab serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a clean, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are thin and even, with square, unbracketed slab serifs that read as crisp horizontal and vertical caps rather than calligraphic endings. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and clear inner shapes; joins stay tidy and the overall texture is light and evenly spaced, keeping lines from clumping even in longer text. Numerals follow the same restrained, typewriter-like construction, with simple forms and consistent width across the set.
Well suited to settings where fixed character widths matter, such as code, terminal-like UI, tables, and aligned data. It also works for technical documentation, academic notes, and editorial sidebars where a typewriter flavor and steady line rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is quiet and utilitarian, evoking classic typing and editorial work rather than display flamboyance. Its slanted stance adds motion and a slightly personal, note-taking feel, while the slab serifs keep it grounded and matter-of-fact.
The design appears aimed at delivering a disciplined, monospaced reading experience with a familiar typewriter voice, pairing crisp slab serifs with a purposeful slant for emphasis and flow while maintaining clarity and regular spacing.
The combination of monospaced width and sharp slabs produces a regular vertical cadence that feels structured and grid-friendly. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, preserving legibility in paragraph-like samples and giving emphasis without resorting to heavy contrast or ornate details.
