A crisp slab serif with a strictly even stroke and a disciplined, cell-like rhythm. The design leans on straight stems, squared terminals, and unbracketed slab serifs, with frequent chamfered corners that give many rounds (C, O, G, 0, 8, 9) a subtly octagonal silhouette. Counters are open and rectangular-leaning, spacing is regular and systematic, and the overall texture reads clean and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, sign-like presence, while lowercase forms remain simple and highly structured for consistent line color.
Well-suited to code samples, terminal-style interfaces, data tables, and technical documentation where consistent character width and a stable typographic color help scanning. It also fits industrial packaging, labeling, and retro-tech branding where an engineered, typewritten voice is desirable.
The tone is pragmatic and matter-of-fact, evoking typewriter and early computer/industrial labeling aesthetics. Its angular detailing and rigid rhythm communicate precision and a slightly retro, technical character rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a functional, machine-like slab serif optimized for systematic layout and repeatable rhythm. The chamfered geometry adds personality while preserving clarity and consistency in continuous text.
Distinctive chamfers and squared joins create a consistent geometric signature across letters and figures, making the font feel both mechanical and intentionally stylized. The strong, flat serifs and uniform spacing produce a steady, grid-friendly texture that stays legible even when set in dense blocks.
