A condensed italic slab-serif with tall proportions and a tight overall set. Strokes show noticeable contrast and a slightly irregular, inked texture, with squared-off slab terminals that read as sturdy but not heavy. Curves are narrow and upright-leaning with a consistent forward slant, and joins often pinch in a way that suggests ink-traps or typewriter wear. The overall rhythm is lively and compact, with crisp counters and tapered transitions that keep the letterforms from feeling blocky despite the slabs.
Well-suited to display and short-text settings where you want a compact, attention-grabbing voice—posters, book or album covers, headlines, and branding. The narrow width helps fit longer titles into tight spaces while the slab structure keeps it sturdy enough for strong typographic locks.
The tone feels like vintage typewritten print—quirky, slightly worn, and characterful. It carries an editorial noir energy that can read as both serious and playful, evoking old documents, pulp covers, and period signage.
Likely designed to capture a typewriter-inspired, condensed italic look with sturdy slab details and an intentionally imperfect print texture. The goal appears to be a distinctive display face that feels archival and expressive while remaining legible in headlines.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same condensed, slanted stance, helping long lines stay compact. The texture is consistent across the set, giving the face a subtly distressed, analog feel without becoming overtly grunge.
