A condensed italic serif with sturdy, low‑contrast strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that read as compact bracketing rather than slabs. The drawing favors tall proportions, tight apertures, and a forward-leaning rhythm; curves are smooth and slightly squared in places, keeping counters compact. Serifs and stroke endings broaden subtly into triangular or beaked shapes, giving the face a chiseled, engraved edge while maintaining an even overall weight. Numerals follow the same narrow, emphatic construction, with clear, simplified forms suited to display sizing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, cover lines, and branding where a condensed, high-impact italic can carry personality at larger sizes. It also works well for packaging and sports or event graphics that benefit from a dense, energetic typographic color and strong word shapes.
The tone is punchy and extroverted, combining a vintage editorial feel with a sporty, poster-like urgency. Its oblique stance and sharp terminals add motion and attitude, while the controlled contrast keeps it solid and confident.
Likely designed as a compact, attention-getting italic serif for display typography, balancing sturdy stroke weight with flared terminals to deliver a distinctive, fast-moving silhouette. The consistent slant and tightly drawn proportions suggest an emphasis on impact and space-efficient set widths in titling contexts.
The italic angle is consistent and the letterfit appears intentionally tight, creating a dense texture in lines of text. Pointed joins and beaked details (notably on diagonals and curved terminals) contribute to a crisp, slightly aggressive silhouette that stands out in headlines.
