A compact, monospaced slab-serif with blunt, square-ended serifs and terminals throughout. Strokes are largely uniform with low contrast, giving the letters a sturdy, mechanical color on the page. Curves (C, O, S) are tightened and slightly squared-off in spirit, while verticals and horizontals stay firm and straight; counters are relatively enclosed, reinforcing a dense, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same consistent cell width, maintaining a strict, even cadence across lines.
Well-suited to code, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, receipts, forms, and specifications. It also works for headings or short editorial callouts where a typewriter/industrial tone and strong rhythm are desired.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and workmanlike—practical, no-nonsense, and slightly retro. Its rigid spacing and blocky slabs evoke forms, labels, and technical or administrative documents rather than expressive display styling.
The font appears designed to deliver dependable monospaced alignment with a robust slab-serif voice, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a utilitarian typographic texture.
The design emphasizes predictable geometry and consistent sidebearing behavior, producing highly regular word shapes and a steady texture in running samples. The square slab details remain clear at larger sizes and contribute to a distinctly mechanical silhouette.
