A condensed italic slab-serif with square, bracketless serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke rhythm. The design leans on tall proportions and a prominent x-height, keeping counters compact and the texture dense in paragraphs. Terminals are crisp and mostly flat-ended, with sturdy feet on capitals and compact, utilitarian joins throughout. Curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and the numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning construction for a consistent, workmanlike color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a compact, attention-grabbing italic is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a vintage-meets-industrial feel, especially when space is limited and a dense typographic texture is an advantage.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, mixing a vintage editorial slant with an industrial bluntness. It feels confident and slightly urgent, delivering a strong, poster-like voice even in running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact italic with clear slab-serif structure—prioritizing bold presence, tight set, and consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum, while the robust slab endings keep letters anchored on the baseline. Spacing appears tuned for compact set widths, producing a tight, punchy rhythm that favors emphasis over airiness.
