A slanted slab-serif design with broad proportions and steady, low-variation strokes. Serifs read as square and blocky, with flat terminals that keep the silhouette crisp and mechanical. Curves are compact and controlled, while joins and corners stay firm, producing a consistent rhythm and even texture across lines. Figures and capitals carry the same sturdy, squared treatment, giving the set a cohesive, workmanlike presence.
Well suited to settings that benefit from orderly alignment and a sturdy, technical flavor—such as code samples, tables, and documentation. It also works for UI labels or interface readouts that need a clear, structured texture, and for editorial callouts where a typewriter-leaning slab italic adds emphasis without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels practical and no-nonsense, like a classic typing or drafting voice with a hint of retro newsroom character. The italic slant adds urgency and motion, while the squared slabs keep it grounded and authoritative rather than expressive or calligraphic.
Likely designed to deliver a disciplined, monospaced reading rhythm paired with a robust slab-serif voice. The goal appears to be clarity and consistency—providing an italic companion that maintains strict structure while adding forward motion for emphasis.
Spacing and alignment feel strictly organized, supporting an orderly texture in the sample text. The combination of wide letterforms, strong slabs, and restrained contrast helps the face remain clear and stable at medium sizes, with a distinctly mechanical finish.
