A slender italic slab serif with a strongly vertical stress and a smooth, low-contrast stroke profile. Serifs are short and squared-off with gentle bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, engineered edge while keeping transitions soft. The proportions are tall and condensed, with narrow counters and a steady, even rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Figures are similarly narrow and upright in feel, matching the text color and maintaining consistent spacing and alignment.
Works well for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, captions, and bylines where an italic voice is needed without heavy contrast. It can also serve in elegant invitations or brand collateral when a condensed, refined slab serif is desired, and performs nicely for pull quotes and short passages at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial—quietly formal, slightly old-world, and composed. Its italic slant and delicate slab detailing suggest a refined voice suited to nuanced, text-forward settings rather than loud display effects.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a disciplined slab-serif structure: compact, legible, and consistent in texture, while still carrying a gentle handwritten cadence. It prioritizes an even text color and a composed rhythm suitable for continuous reading and typographic emphasis.
Uppercase forms read clean and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement in entries and exits, creating a pleasant flow in words. The narrow set and light presence produce an airy texture, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and adequate line spacing in paragraph use.
