A monospaced slab-serif with a sturdy, even stroke and softly rounded terminals throughout. The serifs are blocky but cushioned, giving corners a gentle radius rather than sharp cuts. Letterforms are broad and stable with generous interior space; curves (C, O, S) read smooth and open, while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent rhythm across the set. The lowercase uses simple, workmanlike constructions with a single-storey a and g, and punctuation-like details (such as the i dot) appear compact and neatly centered.
It’s well suited to code editors, terminal-style UI, and any setting that benefits from fixed-width alignment such as tables, forms, tickets, and technical documentation. The rounded slabs also make it a strong choice for retro-themed branding, packaging, and headings where a typewriter-inflected texture is desired without an overly rigid feel.
The overall tone recalls classic mechanical and typewriter traditions, but the rounded finishing makes it feel warmer and less severe than a purely utilitarian mono. It projects an honest, practical voice with a subtle vintage character—reliable, readable, and a bit nostalgic.
The design appears aimed at delivering dependable monospaced alignment with a softened, contemporary finish—combining typewriter familiarity with rounded details to improve approachability and visual comfort.
In text, spacing is predictably even and the regularity of widths creates a clear grid-like cadence. The softened slabs help prevent the texture from feeling harsh at larger sizes, while the wide set and open counters support clarity in dense lines.
