A slanted, monospaced slab serif with sturdy, flat-ended serifs and a clean, low-contrast stroke. Letterforms are relatively open and generously spaced by the fixed-width rhythm, with simple, squared-off terminals and restrained shaping that keeps counters clear. The italics feel mechanical rather than calligraphic—more like an engineered oblique—while still showing subtle curvature in bowls and joints. Figures are straightforward and readable, matching the same steady, fixed advance and compact detailing as the letters.
Well suited to code samples, terminal-style UI, and any layout where strict character alignment matters, such as tables, forms, and data listings. It also works for documentation, footnotes, and captions when a monospaced voice is desired without losing the authority and structure of slab serifs.
The overall tone is crisp and utilitarian with a distinctly editorial, old-school workstation feel. It suggests documentation, academic notes, and technical writing, but with enough serif character to read as literary rather than purely industrial.
The design appears intended to merge the disciplined alignment of a monospaced face with the solidity and readability cues of a slab serif, creating an italic option that remains clear, stable, and practical in dense, structured text.
The fixed-width cadence creates a strong horizontal rhythm that emphasizes columns and alignment. The slabs add firmness and structure, helping the slanted forms remain legible and anchored even at smaller sizes.
