A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, square-ended terminals and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are tall and compact with a steady rhythm, using broad, blocky serifs that read clearly even in the compressed proportions. Curves are controlled and slightly squared in feeling, while joins and edges stay crisp, giving the design a firm, engineered presence. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, upright structure despite the italic slant, supporting dense setting and headline use.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and editorial display where tight horizontal space and strong voice are needed. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a compact, punchy slab-serif look, especially when a sense of motion is desired without sacrificing solidity.
The overall tone feels brisk and assertive, combining a vintage print flavor with a utilitarian, workmanlike confidence. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the slab detailing keeps it grounded and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, energetic slab serif for display typography, pairing condensed proportions with robust, square-seriffed construction for high-impact reading at larger sizes.
In text, the condensed width and strong serif architecture create a dark, coherent texture with clear word shapes. The italics are more of a steady oblique sweep than a calligraphic script influence, keeping the design practical and structured rather than decorative.
