A condensed italic slab serif with sharply cut, unbracketed terminals and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The serifs read as flat, rectangular wedges that meet stems squarely, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered finish. Counters are tall and narrow, curves are controlled and slightly taut, and the overall silhouette leans strongly forward with a consistent, disciplined slant. Numerals follow the same narrow, italic construction with simple, linear forms that keep the texture uniform in running text.
Works best where a compact, stylish italic voice is needed—magazine headlines, poster titling, brand wordmarks, and editorial pull quotes. Its narrow proportions make it useful for fitting long titles into limited horizontal space while still delivering a distinctive serif texture.
The tone is poised and cultured, with a fashion/editorial elegance tempered by the firmness of slab serifs. It feels contemporary-classic: brisk, articulate, and slightly formal without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to combine space-saving condensed proportions with a polished italic editorial tone, while using square slab terminals to keep the texture steady and the forms assertive. The result aims for clarity and style in display-to-short-text settings rather than extended body copy.
In text, the condensed width produces a tight, vertical color and a brisk reading rhythm; the italic angle is prominent enough to convey motion in headlines. The slab terminals add visual anchoring, helping the narrow forms maintain presence even with restrained stroke modulation.
