A monospaced slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and terminals, drawn with even, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are upright and open, with broad proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm across the set. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth but restrained, pairing with sharply defined joins and squared-off finishing details that keep the silhouette crisp. Numerals are clear and simple, matching the same consistent stroke weight and cell-based spacing typical of fixed-width designs.
Works well where alignment is crucial—code, logs, tabular data, and forms—thanks to its fixed character width and clear, sturdy shapes. It can also serve for UI labels or technical documentation where a disciplined, structured typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, suggesting typewriter and terminal-era clarity with a slightly editorial, institutional feel. Its squared details and steady cadence read as dependable and technical rather than expressive or delicate.
Likely designed to provide a highly legible fixed-width voice with a more assertive, slab-serif character than typical monospaced faces. The emphasis appears to be on consistent spacing, clear differentiation of glyphs, and a crisp, squared finish that holds up in dense text and structured layouts.
Spacing is uniformly strict, giving punctuation and narrow letters a pronounced, grid-aligned presence. The slab treatment is prominent without becoming heavy, keeping long passages readable while maintaining a distinctive, structured texture.
