A condensed italic slab serif with a very light, even stroke and square, unbracketed serifs that stay crisp at terminals. The letterforms are tall and streamlined with tight apertures and a consistent slanted rhythm, producing a vertical, high-waisted silhouette. Curves are smooth and restrained, while joins and serifs remain sharp and rectilinear, giving the design a clean, controlled texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, lightly built construction, keeping an aligned, orderly color across mixed copy.
Well suited to editorial applications where a slender italic can add emphasis with minimal weight: magazine features, book-jacket typography, and pull quotes. Its condensed build also works for space-sensitive headlines and tasteful branding or packaging where a classic, serif-italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining a delicate voice with a disciplined, typographic crispness. Its narrow, italic cadence feels literary and slightly formal, suggesting sophistication without heaviness. The look reads as classic and understated rather than decorative or loud.
The design appears intended to offer an elegant, space-efficient italic with the steadiness and clarity of slab serifs. It balances a delicate stroke with firm, square terminals to keep the texture composed and readable while delivering a distinctive editorial rhythm.
The narrow proportions and light weight create generous whitespace within words, while the slab serifs add structure and a subtle grid-like finish. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a continuous flow in text settings.
