A sharply slanted, high-contrast italic with long, blade-like terminals and crisp, tapered joins. Letterforms are expansive and horizontally stretched, with smooth curves contrasted against thin hairline strokes that appear in diagonals and entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively open and rounded, while horizontals and cross-strokes tend to be minimal, creating a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. The overall construction reads clean and sans-forward, with flare-like endings and occasional wedge shapes supplying the contrast rather than traditional serifs.
Best suited for display settings where its wide stance and high contrast can breathe—headlines, magazine covers, fashion/beauty layouts, and high-impact brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or product names, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The font projects speed and polish—equal parts runway editorial and performance branding. Its dramatic contrast and aggressive slant give it a confident, attention-grabbing tone, while the smooth, controlled curves keep it refined rather than distressed or playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, italic display voice that feels fast and premium. By pairing expansive proportions with extreme contrast and razor-like terminals, it prioritizes style and momentum for attention-led typography.
In text, the combination of extreme slant and thin hairlines creates a lively texture with strong directional movement. The most delicate strokes may visually soften at small sizes or in low-contrast printing, while larger sizes emphasize the sculpted curves and sharp terminals. Numerals follow the same italic, contrast-driven logic, with streamlined shapes and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
