A condensed italic serif with tall, upright-leaning proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals and tapered joins that keep counters narrow and vertical. Serifs are small and bracketed, often sharpened by the slant, while many terminals end in angled or slightly hooked cuts that emphasize forward motion. The overall texture is dark and even, with tight sidebearings and a consistent, disciplined letterfit that reads as firm and controlled rather than delicate.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact italic serif can add urgency and character. It can also work for short editorial passages or callouts when a dense, energetic texture is desired, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining a classic print sensibility with a brisk, display-ready urgency. It suggests mid-century editorial headlines and sporty branding, projecting speed, confidence, and a slightly retro sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver strong emphasis in a condensed footprint, pairing traditional serif cues with a dynamic italic stance for attention-grabbing typography. Its consistent dark color and brisk detailing suggest a focus on punchy display use while remaining readable in short blocks of text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum without sacrificing clarity in the sample text. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction and appear designed to sit firmly in a headline context, matching the weight and texture of the letters.
