A condensed italic slab serif with tall proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke weight. Serifs are blocky and unbracketed, giving terminals a crisp, squared finish while maintaining an overall smooth, flowing rhythm. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with narrow counters and tight internal space that emphasize verticality. Lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and a slightly calligraphic swing in joins, while numerals and capitals keep a disciplined, columnar presence.
Works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where condensed italics can add emphasis without consuming horizontal space. It can also suit book covers and poster work that benefits from a classic, typographic voice with crisp slab terminals. For longer text, it is best used at comfortable sizes and spacing to avoid overly dense texture.
The tone feels literary and editorial—poised and traditional, but with a slightly eccentric, high-strung energy from the narrow set and steep italic. It suggests old-style print culture, dramatic headlines, and refined packaging where a touch of character is welcome.
Likely designed to combine the firmness of slab serifs with the expressive momentum of a steep italic, producing a compact display face that feels both traditional and distinctive. The goal appears to be a space-saving italic with strong typographic presence and a consistent, print-oriented rhythm.
In text, the tight width creates a dense line color and strong forward motion, especially in mixed-case settings. The slab serifs add stability and help prevent the design from feeling overly delicate, making it suitable for display and shorter passages where its distinctive rhythm can read clearly.
