A condensed italic slab serif with unbracketed, blocky serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke structure. Forms lean consistently to the right, with crisp terminals and largely squared-off joins that keep the texture firm even in italics. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is tight, producing a dense line color; capitals feel tall and streamlined while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton. Numerals share the same slanted stance and robust slab finishing, reading clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or newspaper-style typography where a compact italic can pack information into limited space. It also works for posters, book covers, and branding systems that want a distinctive slanted voice with sturdy, print-forward character.
The overall tone is editorial and slightly retro, mixing speed and urgency from the slant with authority from the sturdy slabs. It feels pragmatic rather than delicate, suggesting print-era headlines and utilitarian sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient italic with strong slab presence—combining compact proportions with firm, squared serifs to keep lines crisp and readable in attention-grabbing settings.
Diagonal strokes and wedges in letters like A, V, W, and X emphasize a sharp, angular cadence, while the slab endings help maintain stability across long text samples. The italic construction stays controlled—more oblique and typographic than cursive—so word shapes remain legible despite the compressed width.
