A condensed oblique slab serif with squared, unbracketed terminals and a crisp, engineered construction. Strokes stay largely even, with modest modulation, and the overall drawing favors straight segments and flattened curves, giving counters a slightly boxy feel. Serifs read as short horizontal slabs rather than wedges, and many joins and endings resolve into clean, right-angled cuts. The rhythm is tight and upright-leaning, with compact apertures and a consistent, disciplined spacing that keeps lines orderly in text.
Best suited to compact headlines, subheads, captions, and short paragraphs where a condensed italic can add emphasis without taking much horizontal space. It also fits informational graphics, packaging callouts, and signage-style applications that benefit from a technical, architectural voice.
The tone feels functional and technical, with a hint of mid‑century modern or industrial signage. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency while the slab detailing keeps it grounded and matter‑of‑fact. Overall it conveys clarity, efficiency, and a mildly retro editorial flavor.
Likely designed to provide an efficient, space-saving italic with slab-serif authority—combining a clean, engineered silhouette with legible text behavior. The consistent stroke treatment and squared terminals suggest an emphasis on reproducibility and a modern-industrial aesthetic.
Uppercase forms appear tall and streamlined, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton. Numerals are similarly condensed and squared-off, reinforcing a systematic, label-like personality across letters and figures.
