A compact italic slab serif with sturdy, square-cut serifs and a mostly monoline stroke rhythm. Curves are slightly squarish and controlled, with rounded corners kept tight rather than soft. The italic slant is consistent and moderate, giving the forms forward motion without becoming cursive. Counters are fairly open for the width, while joins and terminals stay blunt and mechanical, producing a crisp, stamped look across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where a compact italic voice is needed. The sturdy slab terminals make it effective for packaging, labels, and poster typography that benefits from a vintage-industrial accent. It can also work for UI accents or tabular callouts when a bold, mechanical texture is desired.
The overall tone feels practical and retro, like mid‑century editorial or industrial labeling set in an oblique slab. It reads as confident and no-nonsense, with just enough italic energy to suggest momentum and emphasis. The squared finishing details add a utilitarian, workmanlike character rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic emphasis within a robust slab-serif framework, combining forward-leaning motion with blunt, industrial finishing. Its compact proportions and restrained contrast suggest a focus on efficient space use and steady readability, while preserving a distinct retro editorial flavor.
Uppercase forms appear more rigid and condensed, while the lowercase introduces livelier details (notably in a, f, g, and y) that enhance texture in text. Numerals share the same blunt, slabbed endings and keep a consistent, compact presence suitable for inline data. The spacing and rhythm favor dense setting, creating a firm, even typographic color in paragraphs.
