A sturdy monospaced serif with heavy verticals, compact proportions, and crisp, angular detailing. Stems are punctuated by small spurs and forked terminals, and several joins show sharp notches that create an ink-trap-like impression. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, producing squared-off counters and a firm, mechanical rhythm. The overall texture is dense and even, with consistent character widths and clear, high-impact silhouettes across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to environments that benefit from strict character alignment, such as code samples, terminal-style interfaces, tables, and technical documentation. The bold, compact forms also translate well to labels, packaging, and headline-style applications where a mechanical, typewriter-coded voice is desired.
The font conveys a utilitarian, machine-made personality with a distinctly retro typewriter and industrial flavor. Its spurred terminals and hard-edged cuts add a slightly rugged, engineered tone that feels practical and authoritative rather than refined.
The design appears intended to modernize a typewriter/monospace archetype by adding distinctive spurs, forked endings, and angular cut-ins that boost character identity while maintaining consistent spacing and a strong, functional color on the page.
Distinctive internal cuts and mid-stem spurs become especially noticeable in text, where they create a lively, staccato sparkle without breaking the regular monospace cadence. Numerals and uppercase forms read strongly at a glance, emphasizing signage-like clarity and a workmanlike presence.
