A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, nearly even strokes and a clear typewriter-like cadence. The letters are broad and open, with a tall lowercase that keeps counters generous and readable. Serifs are blocky and often subtly bracketed, with rounded corners and softened joins that give the shapes an inked, mechanical impression rather than a sharp digital one. Curves are full and steady, while straights stay firm, producing a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to settings that benefit from consistent character widths and a strong, steady texture—such as code-like interfaces, terminal or console styling, technical documentation, and tabular material. The robust slab details also make it effective for short editorial uses like labels, captions, and pull quotes where a typewriter voice is desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, with a nostalgic typewritten flavor. It feels archival and editorial—confident and plainspoken—while the slant adds a touch of motion and personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable monospaced reading experience with a classic typewriter sensibility, combining sturdy slabs and softened details to maintain clarity and warmth in continuous text.
Spacing is uniform and grid-friendly, reinforcing a disciplined, mechanical texture in running text. Numerals and capitals read especially solid and stable, and the softened serif/terminal treatment helps prevent the design from feeling harsh at display sizes.
