A condensed serif italic with tall proportions and a steady, economical stroke. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, and terminals frequently finish in tapered points that reinforce the forward motion. Curves are narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, with tight apertures and compact bowls; spacing is measured to keep long words flowing without feeling loose. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-waisted rhythm, with simple, readable forms and minimal ornament.
Best suited to editorial typography where a slender italic can add emphasis and sophistication—magazine features, book jackets, cultural posters, and refined branding lines. It also works well for pull quotes, subheads, and short paragraphs where its narrow rhythm supports tight layouts while keeping a classic serif tone.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an elegant, fashion-forward tension created by the narrow width and consistent italic momentum. It feels poised and slightly dramatic rather than casual, lending a polished, editorial voice to text.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, space-saving italic serif with a classic text sensibility, balancing legibility with a distinctly elegant, condensed presence for display and editorial emphasis.
The italic is integral rather than a mere slant, evident in the calligraphic shaping of joins and the lively entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, g, and y. Capitals maintain a restrained silhouette—tall, slim, and clean—helping headings stay sophisticated without becoming ornate.
