A slender, condensed slab-serif italic with long ascenders and descenders and a consistently light stroke. Serifs are crisp and mostly unbracketed, reading as small rectangular feet and caps that sharpen the ends of verticals and horizontals. Curves are narrow and upright, with compact bowls and a smooth, even rhythm across the line. The italic is moderately slanted with calligraphic influence in the lowercase, while overall contrast stays restrained and the texture remains airy.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. The condensed width can help fit longer titles into limited space, making it useful for magazine layouts, book jackets, and sophisticated branding lines where delicacy and verticality are desired.
The tone is elegant and literary, leaning toward a bookish, editorial voice rather than loud display. Its narrow, poised forms and clean slabs suggest a classic, slightly formal sophistication, with an understated modern neatness.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive italic with a condensed footprint and crisp slab detailing, delivering a graceful, space-saving texture for editorial and classical contexts while maintaining a clean, controlled rhythm.
Uppercase proportions are tall and tightly set, giving headings a vertical, architectural feel. Numerals follow the same condensed, delicate construction, pairing well with the letterforms in running text and titling. The font’s lightness produces a bright page color, especially noticeable in longer paragraphs.
