A condensed italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a taut, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even, giving a clean, linear texture, while the italic slant adds forward motion without becoming calligraphic. Capitals are tall and narrow with flat terminal details; lowercase forms are similarly slim with tight apertures and a compact footprint. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, producing a consistent, column-like color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a narrow italic can add elegance while conserving space. It can work well in magazine layouts, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a refined, fashion-forward voice, and it’s especially effective for short-to-medium lines and stacked typography.
The overall tone reads poised and stylish, with a distinctly editorial, vintage-leaning sophistication. Its narrow, sharpened forms feel tailored and metropolitan, suggesting fashion and cultural publishing rather than casual everyday UI.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of slab-serifs with a sleek, space-saving italic silhouette. It aims for a sophisticated display presence—crisp, legible at larger sizes, and visually consistent across letters and figures—while maintaining a distinctly condensed editorial character.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, helping long words set in a compact measure. The italic angle is steady across cases, and the slab details stay restrained, functioning more as crisp finishing strokes than heavy emphasis.
