A monospaced slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a crisp, linear stroke. The glyphs are wide in their fixed set width, producing generous sidebearings and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled (not overly soft), while terminals and serifs end flat, reinforcing a structured, grid-like texture in text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, and the lowercase shows simple, readable constructions with a single-storey “a” and “g” and compact joins.
This font performs well where fixed-width alignment and consistent rhythm are important, such as code samples, terminal-style interfaces, data tables, and technical documentation. It can also support editorial sidebars or captions that benefit from a structured, typewritten texture.
The overall tone is typewriter-like and utilitarian, with a mildly retro, office-document character. Its square serifs and fixed spacing give it a technical, no-nonsense voice suited to clear, procedural communication rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable, fixed-width readability with a classic slab-serif typewriter feel, balancing clarity and structure with a slightly nostalgic document aesthetic.
The numerals and punctuation maintain the same rigid set width, creating consistent alignment in tabular or code-like layouts. The slash in the zero is prominent, emphasizing distinction in contexts where character disambiguation matters.
