A monospaced slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and low stroke modulation. The forms are broadly proportioned with generous internal space, producing open counters and a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines. Curves are simple and round, while joins and terminals resolve crisply into flat-ended slabs; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel sturdy rather than sharp. Numerals are clear and evenly fitted to the fixed width, with straightforward shapes that prioritize consistency over flair.
Well suited to settings that benefit from fixed-width alignment such as code samples, terminal interfaces, log output, and tabular data. It also fits technical documentation, forms, captions, and instructional materials where a structured, typewritten voice and consistent character widths improve scanning and layout control.
The overall tone evokes typewriter and early computer printout aesthetics—practical, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic. Its even spacing and sturdy serifs lend an institutional, documentary feel that reads as dependable and workmanlike rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic monospaced reading experience with slab-serif robustness—optimized for alignment-driven typography and a familiar typewriter/terminal texture while staying clear and calm in longer passages.
Verticals and horizontals dominate, giving the face a calm, grid-aligned texture in paragraphs. The lowercase shows a simple, familiar construction with unobtrusive details, keeping emphasis on uniformity and legibility in continuous text.
