A sharply slanted display face with extreme contrast between razor-thin hairlines and weighty main strokes. The drawing feels intentionally irregular: many letters are punctuated by needle-like, diagonal slash strokes and sudden tapering terminals that read like cut marks. Counters are tight and vertical proportions are tall, giving the alphabet a wiry, stretched rhythm. Curves are smooth but pulled into pointed joins and flared ends, and the spacing appears lively rather than strictly even, reinforcing its expressive, bespoke character.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its contrast and slash details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion or culture posters, striking brand marks, and album or event graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when paired with a calmer text face to manage readability.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, with an avant-garde, slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp slashes and tense contrast create a sense of movement and attitude, closer to runway editorial or experimental poster typography than conventional text setting. The mood lands as elegant-but-odd, combining refinement with deliberate disruption.
The design appears aimed at creating a memorable, editorial display voice by mixing a refined italic skeleton with disruptive, blade-like gestures. Its consistent slant and contrast deliver sophistication, while the recurring diagonal cuts and irregularities push it into a distinctive, experimental lane meant to stand out in attention-driven layouts.
In the text sample, the diagonal cuts recur as a signature motif across many glyphs, adding sparkle at large sizes but also introducing visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same tension and tapering, which helps consistency in headlines, while the more open, looped shapes (like in some lowercase) provide momentary softness amid the angular accents.
