A condensed italic slab-serif with a steep forward slant and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with narrow bowls and counters and a generally upright, tense construction despite the italic angle. Serifs and terminals read as flat, squared-off slabs with crisp joins, giving the letters a firm baseline presence. The lowercase is compact with relatively small apertures and neatly controlled curves; numerals follow the same narrow, slanted pattern for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, and editorial display where a compact width and strong slabbiness can carry impact. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a vintage, high-energy italic voice. For text-heavy settings, it performs most effectively in short bursts—subheads, pull quotes, captions, or labels—where its dense texture remains crisp and intentional.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, like vintage headlines and editorial callouts. Its steep italic and tight proportions add urgency and motion, while the slab endings keep it grounded and authoritative. The result is a classic, slightly theatrical voice that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, space-saving italic slab for display use, combining speed and emphasis with sturdy, squared terminals. Its condensed build and pronounced slant suggest a focus on headline efficiency and a distinctive, classic editorial character.
In longer lines the dense, condensed rhythm creates a dark, continuous color, especially where narrow forms and squared terminals repeat. The italic angle is pronounced enough that word shapes feel dynamic, which can amplify emphasis but also benefits from comfortable leading and line length control.
