A slanted, monospaced serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and noticeably rounded terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with minimal contrast and softly eased corners that keep the texture dark but not harsh. The wide set and consistent cell width create a steady cadence, while the italic angle and curved joins add motion. Counters remain open and legible, and the overall silhouette reads as a softened, engineered take on a typewriter-inspired slab.
This style suits code and terminal interfaces where fixed-width alignment matters, and it also performs well in technical documentation, tables, and UI labels that benefit from a predictable rhythm. The softened slab endings and open shapes make it comfortable for short-to-medium passages, captions, and instructional text where a utilitarian voice is appropriate.
The tone feels retro and practical, with a clear typewriter lineage that suggests notes, drafts, and technical documentation. Rounded details temper the utilitarian voice, making it feel friendlier and less severe than sharper slab monos. It conveys reliability and a lightly nostalgic, workshop-and-office mood.
The design appears intended to merge a classic typewriter-monospaced structure with rounded slab details, balancing strict alignment and engineered sturdiness with a more approachable, contemporary softness. It aims for high clarity and consistent texture while retaining a distinctive italic slant for emphasis and personality.
Uppercase forms show firm horizontals and pronounced, rounded slabs, while the lowercase maintains clear distinctions and simple, sturdy constructions. Numerals match the same monospaced rhythm and retain the softened slab finishes, helping mixed text keep an even, consistent color.
