A sharply slanted, high-contrast display face with broad proportions and a pronounced diagonal stress. The letterforms are built from hefty, rounded masses cut by razor-thin hairlines and wedge-like joints, creating a sculpted, almost carved appearance. Terminals tend to taper into acute points, and counters are compact and often asymmetrical, with some strokes appearing as crisp incisions through otherwise solid shapes. The overall rhythm is energetic and irregular in a controlled way, with noticeably different widths across glyphs and strong black/white interplay at both large and medium sizes.
This font excels in large-format typography such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand-led campaigns where contrast and gesture can be appreciated. It is particularly effective for fashion/editorial layouts, packaging titles, and short, punchy wordmarks that benefit from a distinctive slanted silhouette and graphic black shape.
The font projects a confident, couture-forward tone—dramatic and attention-seeking, with a refined edge. Its aggressive slant and blade-like hairlines add urgency and motion, while the heavy silhouettes keep it grounded and emphatic. The result feels contemporary and stylish, suited to bold statements rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended as a modern contrasted display sans that fuses bold, wide proportions with calligraphic incision-like detailing. Its emphasis on sharp diagonals, tapered terminals, and dramatic stroke contrast suggests a goal of maximum visual impact and recognizable texture in title settings.
Diagonal cuts and split strokes are a defining motif, especially visible where thin strokes slice into bowls and joins. Numerals follow the same sculptural logic, pairing weighty bodies with delicate, angled hairlines for a crisp, high-impact set.
