A condensed italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a crisp, linear construction. The strokes are consistently thin with restrained contrast, letting the strong horizontal terminals and serifs define the texture. Capitals are tall and narrow with clean, slightly tapered joins, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and long ascenders/descenders that emphasize verticality. Counters are tight and oval, spacing is compact, and the overall rhythm reads airy yet precise, with a gently calligraphic slant.
Best suited to display and titling where its condensed italic stance and sharp slab serifs can create a distinctive silhouette—magazine mastheads, fashion and lifestyle branding, book-cover titles, posters, and large pull quotes. It can also work for short editorial subheads where a refined, space-saving italic is desired.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—poised and editorial rather than rustic. Its narrow proportions and sharp slab details feel deliberate and stylish, suggesting sophistication and restraint with a hint of vintage display charm.
The design appears intended to combine an elegant italic presence with the assertiveness and clarity of slab serifs, producing a narrow headline face that feels both classic and contemporary. Its consistent thin strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs prioritize a clean, high-contrast silhouette at larger sizes.
The numerals follow the same slender italic logic, with graceful curves and minimal ornament. Letterforms like the single-storey a and the looped g reinforce a classic italic flavor, while the square serifs keep the voice structured and typographic.
