A condensed italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed block serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Stems are narrow and upright in feel despite the italic, with moderate thick–thin modulation that stays consistent across the set. Terminals and serifs are sharply cut and mostly rectangular, giving a taut, high-tension silhouette; counters are compact and apertures relatively tight. The overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined, with tall ascenders/descenders and a lean, energetic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a condensed italic can add drama without becoming overly script-like. It can work well for vintage-styled branding, packaging callouts, and poster typography, particularly where tight horizontal space and strong emphasis are needed.
The font reads as editorial and vintage-leaning, mixing classic italic elegance with a firmer, more assertive slab-serif backbone. Its narrow, slanted forms create a sense of urgency and motion, while the squared serifs add authority and a slightly industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic voice that is both elegant and forceful: a condensed, space-efficient structure paired with squared slab serifs for punch and clarity. It aims for high-impact emphasis in display and editorial contexts while keeping a disciplined, consistent typographic texture.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-ready due to their tall, condensed proportions and emphatic slab endings, while lowercase maintains a similarly narrow, brisk cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted construction, helping maintain a uniform color in mixed text.
