A tall, tightly condensed italic slab-serif with a forward slant and a brisk, vertical rhythm. Strokes read as sturdy and largely even in weight, with square, unbracketed slab terminals that snap on and off cleanly, giving letters a chiseled, poster-like silhouette. Counters are narrow and apertures are tight, emphasizing height over width and creating a dense texture in words. The overall drawing feels crisp and geometric, with pointed joins and compact curves that stay controlled within a narrow set width.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event promos, and logo/wordmark work where a condensed italic slab can add speed and presence. It can also work well on packaging or apparel graphics where verticality and dense texture help the type stay prominent at larger sizes.
The look is energetic and assertive, with a vintage display flavor that recalls mid‑century headlines and cinematic titling. Its steep italic motion and hard slab endings add urgency and speed, making the tone feel bold, competitive, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a strong, structured slab-serif identity. Its combination of condensed proportions, forward slant, and square terminals suggests a purposeful display face for attention-grabbing titling and branding.
In the text samples, the condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create a strong dark stripe across a line; spacing and word shapes become prominent design elements. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow stance, supporting cohesive headline use where letters and figures must match in impact.
