A monospaced slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and flat terminals that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with clear right angles and minimal curvature shaping many joins and endings. The lowercase is simple and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a,” compact bowls, and a straightforward “t” and “f” that read cleanly in text. Numerals are plain and functional, matching the same cell-based spacing and maintaining consistent alignment across the set.
Well-suited to code, terminal-style UI, tables, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment. It also works for technical documentation, forms, labeling, and retro-styled editorial or poster work where a typewriter/monospace texture is desired.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and pragmatic, with a retro office and engineering sensibility. Its uniform spacing and blunt slabs give it a disciplined, technical voice that prioritizes clarity over flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable, aligned text with the familiar feel of slab-serif typewriter faces—combining strict spacing and sturdy terminals to support structured content and utilitarian typography.
In the text sample, the even advance widths produce a strong grid and steady texture, with pronounced serifs helping word shapes stay distinct at larger sizes. The design’s squared details and restrained curves give it a confident, slightly industrial presence that remains readable despite the rigid structure.
