A condensed italic slab serif with crisp, squared serifs and clean, straight joins. Strokes stay relatively even throughout, with a firm vertical rhythm and minimal modulation, while the italic slant adds forward momentum. Counters are tight and apertures modest, giving the letters a compact, economical footprint. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction, reading sharply and consistently alongside the alphabet.
Works best in headlines, pull quotes, posters, and magazine typography where a condensed italic voice can add urgency without becoming ornate. It can also suit branding or packaging that needs a sharp, structured italic with a compact footprint.
The overall tone feels brisk and purposeful—somewhere between editorial sophistication and utilitarian signage. Its narrow, slanted forms create a sense of speed and emphasis, while the slab serifs lend a structured, authoritative presence with a mildly retro flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver an efficient, space-saving italic slab voice with strong structure and crisp edges. Its consistent stroke behavior and disciplined serif treatment suggest an aim for assertive display typography that remains readable in dense, narrow settings.
The design leans on tall proportions and tight spacing cues, producing a dense texture in longer lines. Distinct slabbed feet and squared terminals help maintain clarity at display sizes, while the condensed fit encourages compact headlines and column-friendly settings.
