A sharply slanted, high-contrast sans with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes swing between hairline diagonals and heavier verticals, creating a lively rhythm and a noticeably sculpted, tapering feel. Forms are narrow and upright in structure but aggressively italicized, with crisp terminals and occasional long, blade-like entry/exit strokes (notably in characters like A, K, M, V, W, X). Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are compact, and spacing reads tight but deliberate, emphasizing a sleek, fast silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, posters, and brand marks where the sharp contrast and italic momentum can be showcased. It works well for fashion, culture, and premium product communication, and can add speed and sophistication to short statements, pull quotes, and titling.
The overall tone is fashion-forward and editorial, combining modern minimalism with dramatic, razor-thin accents. It feels energetic and slightly theatrical—more about presence and attitude than quiet neutrality—while still staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic display voice that merges sans simplicity with calligraphic contrast. Its goal is to create a distinctive, luxurious texture through razor-thin accents, tight proportions, and a confident forward lean.
Several glyphs use pronounced hairline diagonals and extended strokes that act like built-in flourishes, which can create striking texture at display sizes but may require generous size/leading in dense settings. Numerals follow the same slanted, contrasted logic, reinforcing a cohesive, stylized color across mixed alphanumeric text.
