A monospaced italic slab serif with sturdy, mostly square-ended serifs and a measured, even rhythm. Strokes stay relatively uniform with only modest modulation, while the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Letterforms show practical, typewriter-like proportions: compact widths, clear counters, and assertive slab feet on verticals. The lowercase has a familiar, workmanlike construction (single-storey a and g), with rounded joins and gently curved entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively without becoming calligraphic. Numerals align to the same fixed set width and follow the italic slant, reading cleanly in sequences.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as code listings, terminal-style UI, tabular data, and structured forms. The italic slant makes it useful for inline emphasis within monospaced settings, and the sturdy slabs give it enough presence for headings, pull quotes, and editorial sidebars where a typed, document-like voice is desired.
The tone is utilitarian and slightly nostalgic, evoking typed documents, editorial markup, and technical notes. Its slanted stance adds momentum and emphasis while the slab serifs keep it grounded and matter-of-fact. Overall it feels disciplined, readable, and intentionally unsentimental—more about clarity than flourish.
Designed to deliver a typewriter-informed, monospaced reading experience with a clear italic voice and robust slab finishing. The goal appears to be dependable alignment and legibility in structured text, while adding just enough character through the italic angle and firm serifs to stand apart from neutral monospace faces.
Because every glyph occupies an equal advance width, text forms a strong vertical grid; this creates a steady, mechanical cadence that becomes especially evident in the sample paragraphs. The heavier slab terminals help maintain definition in the italic, preventing letters from appearing overly airy when set at larger line lengths.
