A very slender, condensed italic with crisp, unbracketed slab serifs that read as small horizontal terminals on many strokes. The letterforms lean consistently with a steady, pen-like rhythm and minimal stroke modulation, creating an even, linear color on the page. Counters are tight and verticals are tall, with high-waisted proportions in caps and ascenders that emphasize height over width. Curves are clean and economical (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), and joins and terminals stay sharp and squared rather than rounded.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and short-to-medium passages where a sleek italic voice is desired. It can work well for fashion, cultural, and lifestyle editorial design, refined packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with a sturdier roman or sans for contrast.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated—more fashion/editorial than utilitarian—combining a classical italic manner with a cool, contemporary restraint. Its narrow stance and hairline presence feel delicate and sophisticated, suggesting quiet luxury rather than bold emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with strong vertical elegance and a modern, squared-serif finish—capturing a classic typographic flavor while keeping the texture light and controlled. Its condensed proportions and crisp terminals suggest a focus on stylish emphasis and space-efficient titling.
In text, the steep italic angle and condensed width create a distinctive forward motion, while the squared serifs help keep lines from feeling overly soft or script-like. The numerals follow the same narrow, refined construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters, reinforcing a consistent typographic voice.
