A monospaced slab serif with rounded, softened terminals and blunt, blocky serifs. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with a sturdy, mechanical construction and generous sidebearings that reinforce an orderly grid-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly squarish in feel, and joins avoid sharpness, giving letters a compact, engineered look while staying readable. Figures follow the same robust, rounded-slab logic, with clear, simple forms suited to tabular alignment.
Well-suited to code editors, terminal interfaces, and environments where fixed-width alignment is essential. It also performs well in technical documentation, data tables, forms, captions, and labeling systems where an even rhythm and sturdy letterforms support quick scanning.
The overall tone is classic typewriter and workmanlike, but with a gentler, more approachable feel due to the rounded serif treatment. It evokes documentation, coding, and practical labeling, with a subtle retro character rather than a sharply industrial one.
The font appears intended to deliver dependable monospaced clarity with a traditional typewriter backbone, softened by rounded slab details to improve approachability and reduce visual bite. The emphasis is on consistent alignment, steady texture, and legible, utilitarian shapes for everyday technical and editorial use.
The design maintains consistent width and spacing across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a steady cadence in paragraphs. Rounded slab terminals help reduce harshness at small sizes while keeping the silhouette firm and structured.
