A condensed italic slab serif with tall proportions and a delicate, even stroke weight. Serifs read as small, squared terminals that punctuate the ends of stems without much curvature, while the italic slant gives the forms a continuous forward rhythm. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls kept taut and compact. The overall texture is light and airy, with crisp joins and consistent, controlled geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This face is well suited to editorial settings where a refined, space-saving italic is useful—magazine headlines, fashion and cultural posters, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. Its condensed build also works for tight columns or narrow banners where you want an elegant serif voice without heavy color on the page.
The narrow, poised shapes and gentle italic movement convey an elegant, editorial tone with a slightly vintage sensibility. It feels formal and literary rather than loud, projecting finesse and restraint while still retaining a distinctive serifed character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a slender, stylish slab-serif italic that reads as sophisticated and space-efficient, emphasizing verticality and rhythm for display and headline typography.
Capitals appear especially tall and columnar, and the lowercase shows pronounced ascenders/descenders that add vertical drama in text. Figures follow the same condensed, italic logic, staying light and streamlined for a cohesive set.
