A condensed slab serif with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes stay relatively even, with only modest modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy, squared terminals that give the letters firm footing without becoming heavy. Counters are tight and vertical stems dominate, creating a tall, efficient texture; curves are controlled and slightly tensioned, helping round letters stay narrow. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a steady, forward-leaning rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts where horizontal space is limited, such as magazine and newspaper typography, subheads, sidebars, and caption systems. It can also serve as a compact italic companion in branding or packaging that needs a condensed, authoritative emphasis without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is utilitarian and editorial—focused, brisk, and space-conscious. Its slanted stance adds urgency and movement, while the slab serifs keep the voice grounded and matter-of-fact rather than calligraphic or decorative.
The design appears intended as a practical, space-saving italic slab serif that maintains clarity and a stable baseline while adding forward motion. Its controlled, even stroke behavior and compact set suggest a focus on reliable readability and consistent texture in dense typographic environments.
In the sample text, word shapes remain clear even with the compressed width, and the serifed joins add structure to narrow apertures. The figures follow the same condensed, italicized logic, keeping typographic color consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings.
