A monospaced slab serif with generously rounded corners and heavy, blunt terminals that read as soft-edged blocks. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with minimal modulation and a consistent, mechanical rhythm across the alphabet. The serifs are prominent and bracketed/rounded rather than sharp, giving the letters a cushioned silhouette. Counters are open and simple, with compact joins and a slightly condensed internal feel that keeps forms stable at text sizes.
Well suited to situations where strict alignment matters, such as coding environments, terminal-style interfaces, tables, and forms. Its robust slabs and softened corners also work for short UI labels, signage, packaging, and editorial callouts that want a typewriter-adjacent voice without feeling harsh.
The overall tone evokes classic typewriter output and utilitarian labeling, but the rounded shaping makes it feel approachable rather than severe. It balances an industrial, workmanlike structure with a warm, slightly playful softness, lending a nostalgic and familiar character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable monospaced reading rhythm with clear, sturdy shapes, while using rounded slab terminals to soften the mechanical feel. It’s likely intended to bridge functional, grid-based typography and a retro, human-friendly impression.
Numerals and punctuation share the same sturdy, rounded slab treatment, helping long passages hold an even texture. The consistent character widths produce a strong vertical grid, which emphasizes alignment and patterning in code-like or tabular layouts.
