A slanted serif with a tall, condensed stance and crisp bracketed serifs. Strokes stay relatively even while gently tapering at terminals, giving the letterforms a clean, drawn quality without heavy contrast. Curves are narrow and upright in construction, with compact counters and a steady, vertical rhythm; lowercase forms read streamlined and slightly calligraphic. Numerals follow the same lean, with open shapes and restrained detailing that keeps the texture even in continuous text.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine text, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also suit formal materials such as invitations, programs, or brand messaging that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a quiet formality suited to traditional typography. Its narrow, elegant movement reads poised and articulate rather than loud, lending a sense of sophistication and polish.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a composed, narrow rhythm, balancing readability with elegance. It emphasizes smooth line flow and refined serif detailing to deliver a polished, text-ready texture.
In text settings the tight width and consistent slant create a fast, continuous flow, while the serifs and tapered terminals add definition at word shapes. The figures and capitals appear designed to harmonize with the italic texture rather than stand apart, supporting a cohesive page color.
