A monospaced slab-serif with sturdy, blocky proportions and flat, square-ended serifs throughout. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with crisp joins and a generally rectilinear construction that keeps curves tight and controlled. The uppercase reads structured and formal, while the lowercase is compact and functional, with single-storey forms where expected and clear, open counters. Numerals are simple and workmanlike, matching the font’s consistent cell-by-cell rhythm and mechanical spacing.
This design suits environments where alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as code samples, command-line/terminal-style interfaces, tables, and data-heavy layouts. It can also work well for utilitarian headings, captions, and editorial sidebars where a typewriter-like voice and firm texture are desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and matter-of-fact, evoking typewriter and early computer-era printing. Its blunt slabs and uniform cadence give it a no-nonsense, technical character with a subtle retro flavor rather than a refined literary feel.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, monospaced reading experience with clear slab-serifs and a steady typographic color. Its emphasis on consistent geometry and blunt terminals suggests an intention to feel dependable, technical, and legible in structured layouts.
Spacing is highly regular, producing a strong grid rhythm in text. The square serifs and terminals remain visually consistent across letters and figures, which helps maintain clarity in mixed-case settings and code-like layouts.
