A sturdy slab serif with blocky, square-cut detailing and a distinctly rectilinear build. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as bold horizontal slabs that terminate cleanly. The letterforms have generous internal space for the weight, with rounded bowls kept tightly controlled and counters that stay open at text sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm are consistent and measured, giving the design a firm, grid-like presence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to code, technical documentation, and UI or terminal-style text where fixed-width alignment and sturdy shapes help scanning. The weight and square slabs also make it effective for short headlines, labels, packaging, and poster typography where a mechanical, utilitarian voice is desired.
The tone is practical and workmanlike, evoking typewriter-era clarity and industrial signage. Its blunt slabs and steady rhythm convey authority and straightforwardness rather than delicacy or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, fixed-width slab serif texture with strong print presence and high legibility. Its squared terminals and bold serifs suggest a focus on practical readability and a classic, typewriter-informed aesthetic across both display and text settings.
Numerals are large and emphatic with simple, legible shapes; round forms like 0 and 8 stay compact and balanced against the heavy stroke weight. Lowercase characters maintain a clear, no-nonsense texture in running text, with a strong baseline and consistent vertical alignment that supports long passages.
