A condensed oblique slab serif with tall proportions and a tight, upright rhythm. Strokes are fine and even, with crisp, square-ended slab serifs that join without visible bracketing, producing a clean, constructed look. Counters are narrow and vertical, apertures are restrained, and terminals stay sharp rather than calligraphic. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined structure for a cohesive text color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, captions, and magazine-style typography where space is limited but a distinctive serif voice is desired. It can also work well for posters and packaging that benefit from a refined, condensed italic look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, with a slightly continental, vintage flavor. Its narrow, slanted stance reads as energetic and refined rather than casual, lending a poised, fashion-forward voice to headings and short passages.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, italicized slab serif that remains controlled and legible, combining crisp industrial serif forms with a sleek editorial rhythm.
The condensed width and tall ascenders create a strong vertical emphasis and efficient line fit. In sample text, the steady stroke weight and crisp serif geometry keep the texture orderly, while the slant adds motion and hierarchy without relying on heavy contrast.
