A monospaced slab serif with straight-sided, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from crisp verticals and horizontals with restrained curves, producing a tidy, mechanical rhythm. Counters are open and fairly generous for a mono design, while joins and terminals stay clean and mostly unbracketed. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably the a and g), short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and compact, pragmatic detailing that keeps the texture even across long lines.
Well suited to environments that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code editors, terminal-like interfaces, tabular data, and form layouts. It can also work for technical documentation, manuals, and captions where a structured, evenly spaced typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone reads practical and workmanlike, with a subtle retro/typewriter flavor. Its steady spacing and squared finishing give it a technical, no-nonsense voice suited to information-forward settings rather than expressive or calligraphic ones.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, disciplined monospaced voice with slab-serif authority—balancing legibility with a sturdy, engineered aesthetic. Its consistent proportions and square terminal treatment suggest a focus on alignment, predictability, and straightforward reading in utilitarian contexts.
The numerals and punctuation keep the same squared, slabbed logic as the letters, reinforcing a consistent, grid-friendly color. The sample text shows an even, predictable line texture with clear word shapes and a deliberate, engineered feel.
