A condensed italic slab-serif with tall proportions, generous ascenders/descenders, and a wiry, pen-like rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal contrast, while the serifs read as small, crisp slabs that square off terminals and add a steady beat. Curves are narrow and slightly taut, and the italics lean is steady across the set, giving the texture a fast, vertical cadence rather than a broad, calligraphic sweep. Figures follow the same slender construction, with open counters and a lightly mannered, slightly quirky flow in the curved forms.
Well suited for editorial typography where a distinctive italic voice is needed—subheads, pull quotes, captions, and short passages that benefit from a condensed, refined tone. It can also work in posters and packaging where tall, narrow letterforms help fit copy into tight columns while keeping a stylish, vintage-leaning flavor.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, with a hint of offbeat character—like an archival italic used for asides, captions, or understated emphasis. Its narrow, airy color reads elegant and restrained, while the sharp slab terminals keep it from feeling overly delicate or romantic.
The design appears intended to merge the discipline and structure of slab-serifs with a slender, italicized, space-saving silhouette. It aims to provide an expressive emphasis style that remains controlled and typographically sharp, rather than flowing or script-like.
The spacing and narrow set produce a light, streaky texture in text, especially noticeable in long runs of italics. The crisp slab endings help maintain clarity at display sizes, but the fine strokes suggest it will look best when given enough size and breathing room.
