A sturdy slab-serif design with broad proportions and a strictly even, monoline rhythm. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, with flat, square-ended terminals throughout and minimal stroke modulation. Curves are kept tight and controlled, producing slightly squared bowls and shoulders that read cleanly at text sizes. The overall spacing and cadence feel measured and consistent, reinforcing a disciplined, structured texture in running copy.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from a steady, mechanical texture such as code samples, specifications, and interface tables, as well as forms, labels, and utilitarian print. It can also support editorial layouts that want a typewriter-adjacent voice for pull quotes, captions, or short blocks of text.
The face conveys a pragmatic, matter-of-fact tone associated with typewritten and industrial typography. Its blunt slabs and steady rhythm give it a no-nonsense, workmanlike voice that can feel archival, documentary, or technical depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable legibility and a consistent typographic color while evoking classic typewriter and office-document aesthetics. Its squared terminals and robust slabs prioritize clarity and repeatable structure over ornament.
Uppercase forms are firm and architectural, while the lowercase maintains clear, sturdy shapes with simple joins and uncomplicated detailing. Numerals follow the same squared-off logic, keeping a uniform visual color and a compact, functional presence.
