A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and largely even stroke widths. The forms feel compact and upright in construction despite the italic slant, with rounded joins, slightly softened corners, and a subtly “inked” texture that suggests printed impression rather than razor-clean geometry. Counters are fairly tight, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is bold and steady, with clear slab feet and tops anchoring the letters. Numerals match the same robust, compact build, keeping a consistent, workmanlike color in text.
Best suited to display applications where a compact, forceful texture is useful—posters, headlines, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts or pull quotes where a vintage, assertive tone is desired, but its dense color and tight counters favor larger sizes over long continuous reading.
The tone is vintage and utilitarian—evoking old posters, stamped labels, and newspaper-era display typography. Its slanted stance adds momentum while the heavy slabs keep it grounded, giving a confident, no-nonsense voice with a hint of frontier and industrial grit.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient slab-serif voice with an energetic slant, combining practical legibility with a distinctly retro, print-driven character.
The italic angle is pronounced but the letterforms remain readable and stable, making it feel more like a traditional “slanted” companion than a calligraphic italic. The condensed proportions and dense spacing create strong impact in headlines, while the slab serifs maintain a firm baseline and consistent texture across mixed-case settings.
