A condensed italic slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a crisp, clean finish. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thin hairlines and firmer verticals, and a consistent rightward slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Terminals tend to be sharply cut, and curves are taut and slightly calligraphic, giving counters a narrow, elongated feel. The lowercase keeps a steady x-height with compact bowls and tight apertures, while the numerals follow the same italic rhythm and disciplined, narrow proportions.
It suits editorial and long-form contexts where an italic voice is needed without losing structure, such as magazine features, book typography, and refined brand collateral. The condensed proportions make it useful for tight columns, headlines, and pull quotes where space is limited but a classic serif flavor is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, evoking traditional print typography with a slightly brisk, contemporary sharpness. Its narrow, slanted forms convey momentum and sophistication, reading as measured rather than exuberant.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and stability of slab serifs with the forward motion of an italic, producing a compact, high-impact texture that remains legible in continuous text. Its disciplined shapes suggest a focus on controlled elegance and space-efficient composition.
The font’s spacing and rhythm emphasize verticality, with capitals and ascenders creating a tall skyline and a streamlined texture in text. In the samples, the italic angle and slab endings remain consistent, helping the type maintain cohesion in longer lines and mixed-case settings.
