A compact italic slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a firm, engineered construction. Strokes stay fairly even, creating a low-contrast rhythm, while the italic slant adds forward motion. Counters are moderately open and the curves are taut, with flat terminals and blunt joins that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. Overall spacing feels tight and economical, reinforcing a condensed, punchy texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial text where a compact italic voice is desirable. Its strong slabs and tight color make it effective for posters, magazine layouts, branding lines, and energetic campaigns that need impact without extreme contrast.
The tone is bold and purposeful, blending editorial sharpness with a slightly vintage, poster-like energy. Its slanted stance reads energetic and urgent, while the blocky slabs introduce a sense of authority and grit. The result feels at home in classic print traditions—more mechanical than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif that remains stable and readable, pairing traditional slab-serifs with a brisk, contemporary slant. It emphasizes economy of width and consistent stroke weight to produce a dense, high-impact typographic color for display-led work.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a pragmatic, readable structure with sturdy serifs and straightforward curves. Numerals follow the same blunt, no-nonsense logic, maintaining consistent weight and a compact footprint.
