This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast sans with sharply tapered terminals and a distinctly drawn, calligraphic stress. Strokes shift quickly from hairline connections to fuller verticals, creating crisp, blade-like joins and pointed entry/exit strokes. Proportions run on the broader side with generous bowls and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a flowing, cursive-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted, angular cuts, giving the set a consistent, fashion-forward silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, mastheads, brand marks, and promotional typography where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pulls or packaging copy at comfortable sizes, especially where a sleek, premium voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and stylish, with a runway/editorial energy that feels confident and slightly theatrical. Its sharpness and contrast add sophistication and a sense of motion, leaning more toward luxe branding than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge the cleanliness of a sans with the expressiveness of italic, calligraphic drawing—delivering a contemporary, high-style look with memorable, sharp detailing.
Several glyphs feature distinctive cut-in notches and tapered spur-like endings that read as deliberate design signatures rather than conventional sans terminals. In text, the lively stroke modulation creates a strong word shape and visual texture, but the thin hairlines make the color appear delicate at smaller sizes.
