A compact monospaced slab serif with flat, square-ended terminals and sturdy, rectilinear serifs. Strokes are even and steady with minimal contrast, producing a clean, mechanical rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly squared off, while joins and corners stay crisp, giving the glyphs a disciplined, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals share the same firm structure and spacing, emphasizing grid-like regularity and consistent texture in lines of text.
Well-suited for code samples, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, forms, and data readouts. It also works effectively for labels, captions, and headings where a concise, mechanical slab-serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, evoking documentation, labeling, and practical office or machine output. Its squared details and uniform spacing lend a retro-industrial character that reads as straightforward, technical, and dependable rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a functional, monospaced reading texture with a sturdy slab-serif footprint—prioritizing alignment, consistency, and a distinctly mechanical voice for technical and utility-oriented typography.
The uniform character width creates an even, column-friendly cadence, and the strong slab terminals help maintain clarity at small to medium sizes. The design’s boxy punctuation-like detailing and controlled curves keep words looking orderly and aligned in blocks of text.
