A monospaced slab serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and softly rounded corners throughout. Serifs are blocky yet cushioned, giving terminals a gentle, pressed look rather than sharp edges. Curves (notably in rounds like C/O and lowercase bowls) are smooth and open, while verticals remain sturdy and consistent, producing an even texture and predictable spacing in lines of text.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from strict character alignment and clear shapes, such as coding environments, tables, and terminal-style interfaces. Its sturdy slabs and softened corners also work nicely for short labels, instructional text, and branding moments that want a subtle typewritten or industrial feel without harshness.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, but softened by rounded details that make it more personable than austere. It balances a practical, documentary voice with a mild retro warmth, reading as dependable and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver monospaced functionality with a more human, forgiving texture—pairing robust slab serifs with rounded finishing to improve friendliness while keeping an orderly, mechanical rhythm.
Letterforms show straightforward, legibility-first construction with minimal ornamentation and stable proportions from glyph to glyph. The numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded-slab logic, maintaining the same visual weight and spacing discipline as the letters.
