A condensed italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, even color on the page. Strokes remain mostly uniform, with subtle modulation and distinct flare at terminals and serif joins rather than abrupt bracketed feet. The proportions are tall and narrow with compact counters, producing a tight rhythm; capitals are especially streamlined, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and long, clean ascenders/descenders. Curves are taut and controlled, and diagonals (notably in N, V, W, and y) contribute to a fast, forward-leaning texture.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where an elegant, space-saving italic is needed, especially in magazine layouts, book and journal titling, and refined poster work. It can also serve for short pull quotes or display lines where a forward, stylish emphasis is desired.
The overall tone reads cultivated and editorial—formal without feeling heavy. Its narrow, italic silhouette suggests speed and sophistication, evoking fashion, literature, and classic print styling rather than utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast–avoidant italic voice in a condensed footprint, using flared terminals to add character and finish without increasing weight. It prioritizes vertical economy and a continuous, flowing rhythm for expressive display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight, reinforcing a dense, vertical texture; at smaller sizes this could make narrow letters like e, a, and s feel more compact. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic and match the italic angle, helping mixed text maintain a consistent cadence.
