A condensed italic slab-serif with a steady, low-contrast stroke and crisply cut, square-ended serifs. The forms are tall and compact with tight internal space, producing a dense rhythm and strong vertical emphasis even in the slanted setting. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, and terminals read as clean, assertive cuts rather than calligraphic tapers. Overall spacing and proportions feel tuned for impact, with sturdy capitals and sturdy figures that hold their shape in bold words and short lines.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, pull quotes, and section openers where its condensed italic stance adds urgency and momentum. It can also work well in branding, labels, and packaging that want a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice. For extended reading, it’s likely most comfortable in short bursts—subheads, captions, or tight columns—rather than long, continuous text blocks.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining a vintage print sensibility with a forward-leaning, action-oriented posture. It reads as confident and slightly retro, with a punchy, headline-ready flavor that suggests classic editorial or sports display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic slab voice: assertive enough for branding and headlines, with straightforward construction and crisp serifs to keep letterforms clear and stable. Its proportions and rhythm prioritize speed and emphasis, giving a classic print feel while staying direct and utilitarian.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and numerals, and the slab details stay prominent at small text sizes, which helps maintain a bold texture. The condensed fit and compact counters make it visually strong, but the overall color can become dense in long passages, favoring shorter measures and display settings.
