A sturdy slab-serif design with square-ended terminals and a consistent, even stroke weight. The letterforms are built from straightforward verticals and horizontals with restrained curvature, giving a blocky, engineered feel. Serifs are prominent and flat, and joins stay crisp, supporting a uniform rhythm across the alphabet and figures. Overall spacing is highly regular, producing a disciplined texture in running text.
Well suited to settings where consistent alignment and a firm typographic voice are useful, such as code snippets, tabular data, technical documentation, UI labels, and printed forms. It also works for headings or short blocks of text when a utilitarian, typewriter-like texture is desired.
The font conveys a pragmatic, workmanlike tone that reads as mechanical and systematic rather than decorative. Its square slabs and steady cadence evoke typewritten and industrial contexts, with a confident, matter-of-fact presence.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, highly regular reading rhythm with strong slab serifs and squared detailing, emphasizing clarity, alignment, and a mechanical character across letters and numerals.
Capitals are broad and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple silhouettes with minimal flourish. Numerals match the same squared, robust construction, keeping visual continuity between text and data.
