A tightly condensed slab serif with an italic slant and sturdy, squared terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly uniform, with bold, unbracketed serifs that meet stems abruptly and create a crisp, engineered edge. Letterforms are narrow and upright in construction despite the slant, with compact counters and a slightly mechanical rhythm that stays consistent from caps through figures. The overall texture is dark and efficient, with strong vertical emphasis and clean, hard joins that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where space is tight but impact is needed. The condensed, slanted construction also works well for signage, sports-style graphics, and editorial display typography that benefits from an industrial, high-energy presence.
The tone feels industrial and editorial—confident, workmanlike, and a bit vintage. Its condensed slant adds urgency and motion, while the squared slabs keep the voice firm and utilitarian rather than elegant. The result suggests rugged signage and headline typography with a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, forceful voice: a condensed slab serif with an italic drive for emphasis, optimized for attention-grabbing display and space-efficient titling. Its squared, unbracketed serifs and low-contrast strokes reinforce a robust, engineered character that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
The sample text shows a dense, fast-moving line color where the italic angle and narrow set combine to maximize impact in limited space. Numerals and caps carry the same squared, slabbed finish, helping maintain a consistent, branded texture across mixed-case settings.
