A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, mostly square-ended details and prominent, blocky feet. Strokes show moderate contrast with slightly tapered joins, and the serifs read as compact, bracketed slabs that add weight at terminals without becoming overly heavy. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall lowercase proportions and relatively short extenders that keep word shapes compact. Curves are somewhat pinched and lively, giving counters a slightly irregular, inked feel rather than a perfectly geometric finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover titling where a compact italic slab can create momentum and a distinctive texture. It can also work for branding accents and packaging where a vintage-leaning, space-efficient voice is useful, but its strong slant and dense rhythm make it more comfortable at display sizes than in extended body copy.
The tone feels vintage and editorial, like a utilitarian italic from older print—confident, brisk, and a bit idiosyncratic. Its narrow build and sturdy slabs create a purposeful, slightly theatrical voice that can read as both classic and playfully offbeat depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver an italicized, condensed slab serif with strong terminal presence and efficient width—balancing sturdiness with a slightly irregular, print-like character for impactful display typography.
Figures follow the same condensed, slanted logic as the letters, keeping a consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric lines. The italic angle and dense spacing create strong horizontal flow, making the style feel energetic in longer phrases while staying punchy in short display lines.
