A crisp slab-serif design with steady, even stroke weight and pronounced horizontal serifs that read strongly without feeling heavy. Letterforms are built on simple, upright skeletons with open counters and clean joins, producing a clear, repetitive rhythm across lines. The monospaced spacing gives every character a uniform footprint, reinforcing a structured texture in both all-caps and mixed-case text. Curves are smooth and slightly rounded, while straight strokes stay firm and vertical, creating a practical balance of softness and precision.
This font suits contexts where alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as code blocks, terminal-style UI, tables, forms, and technical documentation. It also works well for labels, captions, and structured layouts where a stable, mechanical rhythm helps scanning.
The overall tone is workmanlike and matter-of-fact, with a typewriter-adjacent, document-oriented character. Its consistent width and sturdy serifs suggest reliability and a mildly retro, mechanical sensibility rather than elegance or display drama.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif monospace for everyday utility: readable at small sizes, consistent in spacing, and visually sturdy without relying on high contrast or decorative quirks. Its shapes prioritize clarity and uniformity, aiming for dependable performance in dense text and structured data.
In the glyph set shown, punctuation-like details (such as the i/j dots) are clean and prominent, and the numerals keep a straightforward, readable construction that matches the letterforms. The font maintains a stable baseline and consistent internal spacing, yielding an even “grid” feel in paragraphs.
