A monospaced slab-serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and generously rounded serifs and terminals. The letterforms are wide and open, with even rhythm and consistent sidebearings that create a steady, mechanical texture in lines of text. Corners are softened throughout, and joins show subtle notch-like shaping that reads as mild ink-trap detailing, helping counters stay clear. Numerals are similarly broad and straightforward, matching the same robust, softened slab structure.
Well suited to coding and terminal-like interfaces, tabular data, and any layout where strict character alignment matters. Its sturdy slabs and open forms also work for technical documentation, labels, and packaging that benefits from a vintage-mechanical voice and dependable readability.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking typewriter and early computing aesthetics while staying approachable due to its rounded detailing. It feels practical and dependable, with a gentle, slightly nostalgic warmth rather than a sharp industrial edge.
The font appears intended to modernize a traditional typewriter/monospace slab model by adding rounded finishing and subtle counter-protection, aiming for clarity in continuous text while preserving a disciplined, grid-friendly rhythm.
The design maintains strong vertical presence with clear horizontals and pronounced slabs, producing crisp word shapes at text sizes. Its broad proportions and soft corners help avoid brittleness in dense settings, while the consistent monospace cadence emphasizes structure and alignment.
