A very slender, forward-leaning slab serif with monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs that read like fine horizontal and vertical caps. The proportions are tall and condensed with generous sidebearings, creating a light, airy rhythm. Curves are softly squared and slightly rounded at the corners, while many joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled. Uppercase forms feel narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, and the lowercase shows high ascenders and a clean, simplified construction that keeps the texture even across lines.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and brand marks where a tall, elegant italic slab can add character without heavy contrast. It also works well for fashion and lifestyle layouts, posters, and packaging where spacious tracking and larger sizes can showcase its delicate structure.
The overall tone is refined and contemporary, with a fashion-forward, editorial polish. Its thin strokes and restrained detailing give it a delicate, sophisticated presence that feels premium and slightly experimental without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of a slab serif with a sleek, contemporary italic skeleton, delivering a distinctive editorial voice in a very light, condensed form. It prioritizes a clean, modern rhythm and stylish verticality over rugged, text-oriented robustness.
The sample text shows a calm, consistent color at larger sizes, while the fine serifs and hairline strokes suggest it will look most confident when given room and contrast against the background. Numerals match the condensed, italicized stance and maintain the same crisp slab finishing.
