A condensed italic slab serif with tall proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Serifs are square and unbracketed, forming crisp terminals that read clearly even in the slanted posture. Strokes stay fairly even, with a steady, linear rhythm and minimal modulation; the overall texture is dark and compact. Counters are narrow and upright within the slant, and the typography leans on sharp joins, straight stems, and angular turns to create a firm, engineered feel.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, punchy italic can carry strong typographic voice—headlines, magazine spreads, poster titles, and brand marks that want a vintage-editorial edge. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where space is limited but impact is needed.
The tone is editorial and slightly retro, evoking newspaper headlines and classic display typography. Its italic slant and compressed rhythm add urgency and momentum, while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative. The overall impression is confident and assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving italic with the firmness of slab serifs—combining brisk forward motion with sturdy terminals for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms feel particularly strong in short words, with pronounced slab terminals and tight interior spaces. Numerals follow the same condensed, italicized construction, producing a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
