A slender italic serif with tall proportions and a noticeably condensed footprint. Strokes show a crisp, moderately contrasted rhythm with clean, sharp terminals and small bracketed serifs that stay understated at this weight. The italics are strongly slanted with a consistent, smooth flow; curves are taut and apertures are relatively narrow, giving lines a quick, vertical cadence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, high-waisted structure, producing a cohesive, airy texture in both display and running settings.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and fashion or cultural branding where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can work effectively for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and book-cover titling, and can also serve as an expressive companion italic in text-oriented systems when used with appropriate size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its narrow, fast slant and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-oriented flair rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined, space-efficient italic with traditional serif cues, prioritizing graceful motion and a polished page color. Its condensed proportions and crisp modulation suggest an intention to feel upscale and editorial while remaining conventional enough for broad typographic pairing.
In the sample text, the condensed spacing and steep italic angle create a lively, forward motion, especially in mixed-case passages. The light construction and fine details read cleanly at larger sizes and invite careful spacing in denser layouts where the narrow forms can visually accelerate the line.
