This is a monospaced slab serif with square, flat-ended serifs and largely unmodulated strokes. Letterforms sit upright with a steady, even rhythm and generous internal space, giving counters a clean, open look. Terminals and joins favor straightforward geometry over calligraphic detail, and the overall drawing stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a mechanically regular texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to environments that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code display, terminal-style interfaces, logs, tables, and forms. It can also work for compact editorial side matter—captions, footnotes, and labels—when a crisp, utilitarian voice is desired.
The tone reads practical and matter-of-fact, with a clear typewriter/terminal character that feels familiar and dependable. Its square serifs add a touch of traditional bookishness while keeping the overall impression functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, even monospaced texture with sturdy slab serifs that improve presence and readability while preserving a straightforward, mechanical consistency for alignment-focused typography.
In paragraph settings the uniform character width creates a strong vertical cadence, and the slab serifs help maintain word shape without adding much stroke contrast. The figures appear tabular in feel, matching the same fixed-width discipline as the letters.
