A monospaced slab serif with sturdy, squared proportions and noticeably rounded terminals and corners. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with blunt slab-like serifs that read as softened blocks rather than sharp brackets. Curves (C, G, O, e) are open and neatly controlled, while verticals and horizontals hold a steady, mechanical rhythm typical of fixed-width designs. Numerals and capitals share consistent width and spacing, producing an orderly grid-like texture in text.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment, such as code samples, terminal or console interfaces, tables, and forms. It can also work for technical documentation, packaging labels, and small UI text where a monospaced rhythm and robust serifs help maintain character distinction.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike, balancing utilitarian clarity with a softer, approachable edge from the rounded finishing. It suggests practicality and documentation—retro in spirit—without feeling harsh or overly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable monospaced legibility with a classic slab-serif structure, while softening the feel through rounded terminals to reduce harshness in continuous reading. It prioritizes consistent spacing and a stable, printable texture for structured text and data-oriented layouts.
The fixed character width creates a pronounced cadence in running text, with clear separations between letters that supports scanning and alignment. The rounded slab treatment gives dense blocks of text a slightly gentler color than sharper, more angular slab monospaces.
