Dagger specimen from ParaType

A single-style bold condensed oblique display face developed at ParaType in 1996 by Alexander Tarbeev, derived from Vladimir Yefimov's PT Compact of 1991.

About

Built on the foundation of PT Compact, Dagger pushes toward extreme display use with its heavily condensed proportions and sharply angled oblique cut. The specimen shows wedge-like terminals and near-maximum stroke weight, suited to poster and advertising headlines. Only one style is offered.

Classification

The specimen shows a bold, heavily condensed oblique sans-serif with sharp wedge-cut terminals and extreme weight, designed for high-impact display use. The strong italic angle and tight proportions place it firmly in the display category.
