Its lowercase is tall: the x-height is 73.9% of the cap height, against a median of 70.2% for monospace fonts, taller than 17 of the 23 other monospace fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (100% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 27.8% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 18 of the 23 other monospace fonts. Its letters are of average width for monospace fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 85% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 85%), within 1.2% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 1.00 times as wide as it is tall, and every capital has the same width. Round letters overshoot: O rises 2.9% of the cap height above H and dips 1.4% below the baseline.

Ink covers 22.5% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 12 of the 23 other monospace fonts. Each letter carries a solid 3D extrusion joined to its face.

Its 148 characters include 105 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 53 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 78% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 26.9% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. All ten figures share one width, so columns of numbers line up.
