A monospaced italic slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are relatively even with modest modulation, and the italic slant feels consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are open and generously shaped, while terminals and slab feet land with crisp, rectangular endings that keep the texture steady in lines of text. Letterforms lean toward straightforward geometry rather than calligraphic nuance, producing a tidy, regular color on the page.
Well suited to any setting that benefits from monospacing and a classic typewriter flavor, such as code snippets, terminal-like UI moments, technical documentation, scripts, and editorial callouts. It can also work for short-form branding accents when a mechanical, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone evokes typewritten and editorial material—practical, a bit nostalgic, and quietly formal. Its slanted stance adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, making it feel suited to commentary, annotation, or narrative voice.
Designed to deliver a dependable monospaced reading texture while adding the character of italic slabs—combining practical alignment with a lightly historical, typewritten sensibility.
The uniform character widths create clear column alignment and a predictable cadence, which is reinforced by the consistent slab construction. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined spacing, helping mixed content (codes, headings, and text) retain an orderly feel.
