A monospaced slab-serif with a broad set width and crisp, square-ended serifs. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal contrast and an even, mechanical rhythm from glyph to glyph. The serifs are strong and flat, giving the design a sturdy, blocky silhouette; curves (notably in C, O, and e) stay controlled and fairly open, while joins and terminals remain clean and unsentimental. Numerals share the same disciplined spacing and robust slab detailing, maintaining consistent color in text.
Well-suited to coding environments, terminal-style UI, and any setting that benefits from strict alignment such as tables, forms, receipts, and technical documentation. It also works for captions and compact editorial sidebars where a controlled, monospaced texture is desirable.
The overall tone is pragmatic and matter-of-fact, with a familiar typewriter and ledger-like character. Its square serifs and fixed spacing convey reliability and structure, evoking documentation, code, and archival typography rather than expressive display.
The font appears designed to deliver dependable, aligned typography with a traditional slab-serif voice. Its fixed-width construction and sturdy terminals emphasize consistency and legibility across structured content and utilitarian layouts.
In running text, the consistent character widths produce a steady cadence and a distinct grid-like texture. The design’s firm serifs help maintain clarity at larger sizes and reinforce a classic, workmanlike presence.
