A slender italic serif with tall proportions and a noticeably condensed set, giving lines a vertical, columnar rhythm. Strokes show moderated contrast with tapered entry/exit terminals and small, bracketed serifs that read crisp rather than heavy. The italic construction is calligraphic in feel: curves and joins are smooth, counters are relatively open for the width, and several letters exhibit gently swept, slightly asymmetric forms. Spacing appears disciplined and even, supporting continuous text despite the narrow set.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes. It can also perform effectively for refined invitations, cultural programs, and premium packaging where a narrow, graceful texture helps fit longer names and phrases without losing sophistication.
The overall tone is cultured and refined, with a literary, editorial sensibility. Its narrow, slanted forms feel poised and slightly formal, suggesting tradition without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic text companion with a slim footprint, prioritizing elegance and line economy while maintaining a readable, consistent text rhythm.
Uppercase letters maintain a restrained, classical silhouette with modest serifs and clean terminals, while the lowercase is more expressive in its italic motion. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast-leaning rhythm and sit comfortably alongside the text, reinforcing a cohesive typographic color.
