A condensed oblique slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and mostly squared-off finishing. Strokes are fairly even in thickness, keeping contrast subdued, while the slanted posture and tight internal spaces create a quick, forward rhythm. Curves are drawn narrowly and cleanly, with compact bowls and pragmatic joins, and the serifs read as firm, rectangular blocks that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing feels economical, emphasizing verticality and a streamlined silhouette in text.
Well-suited to headline and display work where a narrow, italicized slab voice can add energy without becoming decorative. It can also serve branding, packaging, and editorial callouts where compact width and firm serifs help maintain clarity and presence in tighter layouts.
The design projects an industrial, utilitarian tone with a slightly retro, print-oriented flavor. Its angled stance adds motion and urgency, while the sturdy slab details keep it grounded and matter-of-fact rather than elegant or calligraphic.
The letterforms suggest an intention to combine space-saving proportions with the emphatic structure of slab serifs, delivering a practical, attention-holding italic for display-driven typography. The consistent, squared terminals and restrained contrast reinforce a functional, engineered look designed to stay legible while feeling bold and directive.
Uppercase forms appear tall and disciplined, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction, supporting a cohesive system for mixed alphanumeric settings.
