A condensed italic slab-serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as square-cut and sturdy. Strokes appear relatively even in thickness, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dense and vertical despite the slant. The capitals are narrow and upright in structure, while the lowercase shows a compact, traditional skeleton with a modest x-height and slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals are similarly condensed and slanted, matching the text color and maintaining consistent spacing and weight across the set.
Best suited to space-conscious editorial settings such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and bylines, where its condensed italic presence can deliver emphasis without taking up much horizontal room. It can also work for display lines on book jackets and posters when a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—formal without being ornate—combining a traditional italic voice with a firm, structured slab-serif backbone. Its narrow, energetic slant adds urgency and sophistication, suggesting headlines, bylines, and classic print typography.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, emphatic italic option that retains the stability of slab serifs, balancing tradition and structure with a forward-leaning, attention-directing rhythm.
In running text the font creates a dark, continuous line with a disciplined cadence; the slab serifs help maintain clarity and alignment, while the condensed proportions emphasize verticality and economy of space. The italic angle is assertive, making the design feel more like a true italic than a simple oblique.
