A monospaced slab-serif design with consistent, single-stroke weight and a broad set width. Strokes terminate in flat, squared slabs, while curves are frequently faceted into octagonal-like arcs, giving round letters such as C, G, O, and Q a crisp, engineered geometry. The drawing favors hard corners and straight segments, with minimal modulation and compact internal counters that stay clear at text sizes. Overall spacing is even and mechanical, reinforcing a fixed-pitch rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
It suits interfaces and documents that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, tables, and forms. The strong rectangular terminals and engineered curves also make it effective for technical manuals, labeling, and retro computing-inspired graphics where a structured, mechanical texture is desired.
The font conveys a pragmatic, machine-made tone reminiscent of typewriter and terminal output, with an added angular sharpness that feels technical and slightly industrial. Its faceted curves and square serifs suggest precision and a retro-futurist austerity rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, monospaced reading experience with robust square terminals and angularized curves, balancing typewriter familiarity with a more geometric, technical flavor.
Lowercase forms maintain the same square-ended logic as capitals, with simple, open shapes and restrained detailing. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry (notably the rounded figures), producing a cohesive, system-like character set.
