A compact, right-leaning slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a crisp, mechanical construction. Strokes are relatively even, with minimal modulation, producing a clean rhythm and sturdy letter silhouettes despite the slim overall weight. The design uses tall, compressed proportions, tight apertures, and simplified terminals; the curves are restrained and slightly squared off, and the figures follow the same condensed, upright structure with an oblique slant.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, captions, and pull quotes where a compact oblique slab can add emphasis without heavy stroke buildup. It can also serve in posters, packaging, and editorial layouts that benefit from a disciplined, slightly vintage voice and space-efficient letterforms.
The overall tone feels editorial and workmanlike, with a subtle retro and typewriter-adjacent character. Its oblique stance adds momentum while the slab serifs keep the voice firm and pragmatic, suggesting clarity and discipline rather than flourish.
The design appears intended to combine a pragmatic slab-serif backbone with an oblique, compressed stance for energetic, space-saving typography. Its simplified terminals and squared serifs emphasize reproducibility and consistency, aiming for a clear, utilitarian texture in display and short-text settings.
Diagonal strokes and joins read sharp and economical, and the unbracketed serifs give the font a stamped, industrial finish. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, legible skeleton, and the numerals appear consistent in width and presence, supporting information-dense settings.
