A compact, right-leaning slab serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. The letterforms show bold, blocky slabs that often read as squared and weighty, paired with tapered joins and sharp, beak-like details on terminals and diagonals. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit is dense, giving the face a brisk rhythm and strong word shapes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same italic momentum, with sturdy serifs and crisp, angular finishing that keeps the design firm even in curved forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where the high-contrast italic color and bold slabs can be appreciated. It can work well for vintage-leaning branding, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a compact, emphatic serif voice.
The font conveys a vintage, press-like confidence—part editorial, part poster—mixing refined contrast with punchy slab presence. Its italic slant adds urgency and motion, while the heavy serifs keep the tone grounded and emphatic.
The design appears intended to fuse the authority of a slab serif with the speed and elegance of an italic, creating a compact, high-impact style for attention-grabbing typography. The combination of heavy square-like slabs and sharp terminal detailing suggests a focus on display clarity and character rather than neutrality.
Several glyphs show small wedge cuts and pointed spur details that add sparkle at display sizes and create an ink-trap-like texture in tight spaces. The overall silhouette stays narrow and energetic, favoring strong diagonals and compact curves over broad, open shapes.
