A slanted, high-contrast sans with a calligraphic, chisel-like construction. Strokes show pronounced modulation with sharp joins, tapered terminals, and occasional wedge-like flares that create a crisp, cut-in feel rather than fully geometric smoothness. Curves (notably in C, G, O/Q and the numerals) are slightly squared and tensioned, while diagonals and verticals feel firm and forward-leaning. The lowercase is compact and energetic with clean single-storey forms, a brisk rhythm, and an overall italic texture that reads as continuous motion across lines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and poster typography where the slanted, high-contrast texture can carry voice and momentum. It can also work for branding, product marks, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a sharp, modern italic personality and strong word-shape.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining editorial polish with a sporty, contemporary edge. Its sharp modulation and forward slant give it a sense of urgency and performance, while the controlled construction keeps it refined and professional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic-forward, high-energy sans voice with pronounced stroke modulation—bridging the immediacy of a display italic with the clarity of a sans structure. Its tapered cuts and tensioned curves suggest a focus on impact, pace, and a distinctive editorial presence.
Caps present a strong, display-like presence with narrow counters and pronounced stroke contrast, while the numerals mix sleek curves with angled cuts (notably the 2, 3, 5, and 7) for a distinctive, stylized set. Spacing in the sample text produces a dark, cohesive color that suits headline settings where a bold italic voice is needed.
