A hairline slab-serif with unbracketed, square-cut serifs and a consistent, monospaced rhythm. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with clean, straight terminals and crisp corners that keep the forms precise and structured. Curves are generous and smooth (notably in C, O, and S), contrasted by flat horizontals and verticals that emphasize the grid-like cadence. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-shouldered r, and a rounded-bottom u, all drawn with the same restrained, linear logic as the capitals and numerals.
Well-suited to code-facing interfaces, technical documentation, tables, and other layouts where fixed-width alignment matters. It can also work for minimalist editorial display, posters, and titling where a spare, precise texture is desired and sizes are large enough to support the hairline strokes.
The overall tone is quiet, refined, and slightly austere, with an engineered calm that feels contemporary rather than nostalgic. Its monospaced spacing and hairline build convey a deliberate, analytical mood—more measured and architectural than expressive or warm.
The design appears intended to merge a monospaced, systematized cadence with a crisp slab-serif skeleton, prioritizing alignment, clarity of structure, and a distinctive hairline presence. It aims for a restrained, modern voice that stays consistent across letters and figures while remaining visually elegant.
The very light strokes create a strong sense of whitespace and delicacy, while the slab serifs add just enough structure to keep the letterforms from feeling purely skeletal. In text settings the monospaced spacing is prominent, producing an even, mechanical texture that reads as intentional and systematic.
