A heavy, monospaced slab-serif with broad, rectangular proportions and a firmly built silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with flat, square terminals and chunky slab serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate brackets. Counters are compact and geometry-leaning, producing dense letterforms with clear, sharp corners and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is steady and grid-like, with consistent character widths and a strong baseline presence.
Well suited for settings that benefit from strict alignment and a robust texture, such as code snippets, tables, terminals, and UI readouts. It also works effectively for labels, packaging, and editorial or poster headlines where a tough, mechanical personality and strong presence are desirable.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with an industrial and typewriter-adjacent feel. Its dark color and squared details suggest ruggedness and mechanical precision, leaning toward a retro, utilitarian voice rather than a refined or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable monospaced voice with slab-serif authority—prioritizing consistent spacing, bold legibility, and a compact, industrial tone for both functional text and attention-grabbing display use.
The compact apertures and heavy slabs create a strong “inked” texture in paragraphs, making the type feel punchy and emphatic. Numerals share the same sturdy construction, and the overall design prioritizes solidity and uniform spacing over airiness.
