A very light, monospaced slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The outlines show slightly softened corners and gentle irregularities that keep the texture from feeling purely mechanical, while counters remain open and clear. Capitals are straightforward and relatively narrow in detail, with simple joins and minimal flourish; the lowercase maintains a clean rhythm with a single‑storey a and g and plain, open forms. Numerals are simple and legible with consistent widths, reinforcing the even, grid-like spacing typical of fixed-width designs.
Well suited to settings that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, and forms. It also works for short editorial elements—captions, labels, and pull-quote styling—when a typewriter-like, structured texture is desired.
The overall tone reads as typewriter-adjacent and utilitarian, with a restrained, archival feel. Its light color and rigid spacing give it a technical, document-oriented voice, while the subtly imperfect contours add a modest, human touch.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, evenly spaced reading experience with a classic slab-serif typewriter flavor, balancing strict monospaced structure with slightly softened drawing details for a less sterile page color.
In text, the fixed advance width produces strong vertical alignment and a steady cadence; paired with the slab serifs, it creates a distinctive “typed” texture. The light strokes suggest it will look best where the page/background contrast is strong and the font can breathe rather than being packed too tightly.
