A condensed italic slab-serif with a very light, near-monoline stroke and a pronounced forward slant. Letterforms are tall and streamlined, with squared, unbracketed slab terminals that read like clipped fins rather than traditional book serifs. Curves are tightened and often squarish, producing rounded-rectangle counters in forms like O, Q, and the numerals, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Y stay crisp and linear. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with consistent stroke endings and a clean, mechanical regularity across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow proportions and sharp slab terminals can read clearly—headlines, titling, posters, and brand marks that want a sleek, engineered voice. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging accents when a condensed italic texture is desired, especially where space is limited.
The overall tone feels fast, precise, and slightly futuristic, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of technical lettering and streamlined display titling. Its lightness and tight spacing give it an airy sophistication, while the slab terminals add a subtle engineered firmness.
The design appears intended to merge the authority of slab-serif terminals with a streamlined italic silhouette, prioritizing a modern, technical look and efficient horizontal economy. Its consistent, squared-off finishing suggests a focus on crisp reproduction and a distinctive, speed-oriented texture in display typography.
The italic construction is evident even in straight-sided letters, creating a cohesive right-leaning texture in text. Lowercase forms keep the same condensed DNA as the caps, and the figures follow the same squared-curve logic, helping numerals blend seamlessly into settings where alignment and uniformity matter.
