A monospaced slab-serif design with a steady, mechanical rhythm and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are even and calm, with bracketed slab serifs that read clearly at text sizes, and many terminals are subtly softened rather than sharply cut. The letterforms favor open apertures and straightforward construction, balancing crisp verticals with rounded joins in places (notably in bowls and curved characters). Numerals and capitals align tightly to the fixed-width grid, producing consistent spacing and a distinctly structured texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to coding environments, terminal-style interfaces, tables, and any layout that benefits from fixed-width alignment. It also works for technical documentation, footnotes, captions, and editorial body text where a typewriter texture and clear character separation are desirable.
The overall tone feels typewriter-like and workmanlike, suggesting documents, drafts, and utilitarian communication rather than display flash. Its softened slab details add a friendly, approachable warmth to an otherwise disciplined, engineered voice, evoking editorial and academic settings with a touch of retro familiarity.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable monospaced clarity with slab-serif authority, while softening the impact through rounded details for comfortable, extended reading. It prioritizes predictable spacing, recognizable silhouettes, and a balanced page color that stays composed across mixed-case text and numerals.
Round characters (C, O, Q, e, o) are fairly circular with open counters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and stable, reinforcing an orderly, even color. Distinctive shapes—such as the single-storey a and g and the looped descender on q—help readability, and the figures include a curved, old-style-feeling 2 and a plain, vertical 1 that keep the set consistent with the font’s pragmatic character.
