A sharply slanted condensed slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and predominantly straight, clean stroke endings. The construction is low in contrast and tightly spaced, giving a compact vertical rhythm, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for the width. Curves are drawn taut and narrow, with a slightly upright, engineered feel in letters like C, G, and S; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are steep and decisive. The lowercase uses sturdy, compact forms with single-storey a and g and a long, descending y, keeping the overall texture lean and continuous in running text.
This font is best suited to headlines and display settings where condensed, energetic letterforms help maximize impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a confident slab-serif voice with a dynamic italic gesture. In longer passages it remains legible, but its strong slant and tight proportions make it especially effective for short-to-medium text blocks and typographic emphasis.
The overall tone blends editorial sophistication with a vintage, poster-like energy. Its italic slant and condensed stance create momentum and urgency, while the slab serifs add firmness and a slightly industrial confidence. The result feels refined but punchy—well suited to attention-grabbing typography that still reads as typographic and considered.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic slab serif that stays sturdy and readable while projecting speed and authority. Its narrow proportions and crisp slabs suggest a focus on space-efficient display typography with a classic, print-forward character.
The numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning rhythm, with clear differentiation and strong vertical emphasis. Ascenders and descenders are pronounced enough to keep word shapes distinct, and the slab serifs help anchor lines of text despite the pronounced slant.
