A slanted slab serif with sturdy, softly rounded serifs and low stroke contrast. The forms are broad and open, with generous sidebearing rhythm and an even, mechanical cadence typical of fixed-width designs. Terminals are smooth and slightly bulbous rather than sharp, and many joins and corners are subtly softened, giving the alphabet a friendlier texture than a strictly rigid typewriter face. Curves are ample and circular, while verticals stay firm and upright in feel despite the consistent italic angle.
Well suited to contexts where fixed-width alignment and clear character rhythm matter, such as coding environments, terminals, and technical documentation. The italic slant and rounded slabs also make it effective for editorial notes, captions, and compact UI text where a retro typewriter voice is desirable.
The font reads as practical and vintage, evoking typewritten pages, lab notes, and editorial markup. Its softened slabs temper the utilitarian structure with a mild warmth, producing a tone that feels both dependable and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to blend typewriter-like regularity with more polished, rounded slab detailing, offering a readable fixed-width italic that feels functional but not harsh. It aims for dependable legibility in dense text while adding a distinct, slightly vintage personality.
Across the sample text, the steady spacing and consistent slant create a clear horizontal flow, while the rounded slab details add distinct word-shape texture without relying on high contrast. The figures match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting continuous reading in mixed alphanumeric settings.
