A lightly built, italic slab serif with monospaced spacing and an open, airy texture. Strokes are smooth and consistent in weight, with minimal contrast, while the unbracketed slab serifs land as crisp, flat terminals that emphasize horizontals. The italic slant is steady and moderate, producing a forward rhythm without looking cursive. Overall proportions feel generous and calm, with rounded bowls, ample counters, and clear separation between forms in continuous text.
Well-suited to contexts where monospaced alignment is useful but a more literary tone is desired—code snippets, terminal-style UI, tables, and technical documentation. It can also work in editorial sidebars, captions, and packaging or labels that benefit from a typewritten, gently retro feel.
The font reads as quietly vintage and writerly, evoking typewriter and editorial associations while staying restrained and technical. Its slanted, lightly serifed voice feels personal yet controlled, suggesting annotations, correspondence, or understated sophistication rather than display drama.
Likely designed to combine the pragmatic structure of a monospaced face with the warmth and identity of an italic slab serif, delivering a distinctive typewriter-adjacent voice that remains readable in extended settings.
In paragraph samples the even character width creates a consistent cadence and visible columnar alignment, while the slab serifs provide strong baselines and word shapes. The light stroke weight keeps pages bright, but the sharp serifs and steady slant maintain definition at typical reading sizes.
