A monospaced italic slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with only subtle modulation, and the letterforms lean consistently to the right. Serifs read as firm, flat feet and caps, while curves are clean and open, keeping counters clear even at smaller sizes. Proportions favor tall ascenders and modest, straightforward shapes, reinforcing the grid-like cadence typical of fixed-width designs.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from fixed-width alignment such as code samples, terminal-like UI, tables, and forms. It also works for manuscript-style layouts, academic notes, or editorial pull quotes where an italic, typed texture is desired while maintaining clarity and consistent spacing.
The overall tone feels studious and workmanlike, like a typed manuscript or archival document. Its italic slant adds a mild sense of motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, giving it a quietly expressive, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to merge the pragmatic alignment of a monospaced face with the sturdiness of slab serifs and the emphasis of an italic, producing a controlled, text-forward style for structured reading and annotation.
The fixed character widths create prominent vertical alignment and generous internal spacing, which emphasizes the font’s structured texture. Numerals follow the same monospaced logic and match the italic slant, supporting consistent columnar setting.
