A tall, condensed italic with very thin strokes and crisp, unbracketed slab serifs that read as small rectangular terminals at the ends of stems. The drawing maintains a steady, low-contrast rhythm, with smooth oval bowls and tapered joins that keep the texture light and continuous. Capitals are narrow and upright in structure but consistently slanted, while the lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected and slender ascenders/descenders that emphasize verticality. Numerals follow the same narrow, delicate construction, giving an overall even, streamlined color in text.
This font is best suited to editorial typography where a graceful, narrow italic can add emphasis without heavy visual weight—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short introductory passages. It can also work for book and magazine titling where a classic, high-end tone is desired, especially at moderate to large sizes.
The tone is refined and literary, combining a classic italic posture with a pared-back, modern crispness. Its light touch and narrow proportions feel poised and slightly formal, suited to elegant, fashion-leaning or bookish settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with a distinctive slab-serif finish, prioritizing vertical economy and a bright, airy page color. It balances traditional italic cues with crisp terminals to create a refined, contemporary editorial tool.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum, but the consistent stroke weight keeps it calm and controlled. The slab terminals add a subtle structural snap at small details, which helps the very thin design retain definition in larger sizes.
