A compact italic slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a noticeably forward slant. Strokes stay relatively even, with only modest modulation, giving the letters a firm, engineered feel. The serifs read as blocky and mostly unbracketed, and many joins and terminals resolve into sharp, slightly wedge-like angles that add snap to the rhythm. Counters are fairly tight and the fit is economical, while diagonals and curved strokes remain clean and controlled for a consistent, upright texture even in italic.
This style works best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where a compact italic with strong serifs can add urgency and emphasis. It can also serve branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with a more athletic, forward-leaning character, and it holds up well in short-to-medium text runs where a firm texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and energetic without being heavy, blending a traditional serif foundation with a brisk, sporty italic motion. It feels confident and pragmatic—more about momentum and clarity than delicacy—evoking editorial authority with a hint of vintage signage or athletic styling.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic that remains robust and legible, pairing square slab serifs with restrained contrast to keep the texture steady. Its compact width and assertive terminals suggest a focus on space-efficient impact and clear hierarchy in editorial and display typography.
Uppercase forms present strong, stable silhouettes with emphatic feet and heads, while lowercase maintains clear italic structure and compact proportions. Numerals share the same slabbed, angular detailing, helping mixed text retain a cohesive, punchy color.
