A condensed italic serif with tall proportions, tight sidebearings, and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and small, sharp bracketed serifs that read more like pointed terminals in places. Curves are narrow and elongated, with delicate entry/exit strokes and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms a flowing, slightly calligraphic texture. Lowercase counters stay compact and upright within the slant, and the numerals and capitals maintain the same slim, poised silhouette for a cohesive set.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, pull quotes, and fashion or cultural branding where a slim italic voice adds sophistication. It can also work for book covers and posters that benefit from tall, elegant letterforms, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and urbane, evoking editorial typography and classic bookish refinement. Its narrow, slanted forms feel stylish and dramatic without becoming ornate, lending a sense of sophistication and forward motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence in a sleek, space-efficient italic, combining classic proportions with a more stylized, elongated stance for contemporary display and editorial emphasis.
In text, the compressed width and steep italic angle create strong texture and emphasis, making spacing and line length especially important for comfortable reading. The design’s crisp terminals and narrow bowls produce a high-impact silhouette that stands out at display sizes while retaining a traditional serif sensibility.
