A condensed italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a disciplined, vertical rhythm. The letterforms are tall and narrow with compact counters, a steady stroke weight, and square-ended serifs that read as firm horizontal caps on stems. Curves stay taut and elliptical, while joins and terminals remain sharp, giving the design a precise, engraved feel despite the low contrast. Spacing is relatively tight and consistent, producing a fast, column-friendly texture in text.
This font suits space-conscious settings such as magazine columns, newspaper layouts, and dense editorial pages where a compact italic is useful. It also works well for narrow headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and captions that need emphasis without adding weight. The clear slab structure can support formal branding accents when used sparingly in short lines.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—evoking newspapers, book typography, and academic publishing. Its narrow, slanted posture adds urgency and momentum, while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative. The result is a voice that is serious and refined rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a condensed italic companion for editorial systems—providing emphasis and hierarchy while preserving a tight measure and an even typographic color. Its square slab serifs and restrained contrast aim for clarity, firmness, and consistent texture across text sizes.
The italic construction is pronounced and uniform across uppercase and lowercase, with a compact, efficient silhouette throughout. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, appearing tall and streamlined for consistent alignment in running text and listings.
