A sharply slanted, high-contrast sans with a chiseled, calligraphic construction. Strokes snap between hairline connectors and strong verticals, creating a tense rhythm and a glossy, poster-like color on the page. Forms are narrow and tall with rounded bowls that stay taut, while terminals are mostly sheared and tapered rather than bracketed, keeping the silhouette clean and graphic. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and the figures follow the same cut, streamlined logic for a unified, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand moments where a sharp, stylized italic voice is desired. It can work well for logotypes, packaging titles, and short promotional copy where its contrast and slant can be showcased at comfortable display sizes.
The overall tone is sleek and high-fashion, with a dramatic, cinematic edge. Its aggressive slant and razor-thin joins feel fast and stylish, suggesting luxury, nightlife, and editorial sophistication rather than neutrality. The contrast and angular terminals add a sense of precision and controlled intensity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning display italic that feels sans in spirit but borrows the drama of extreme contrast. Its narrow proportions and razor hairlines prioritize visual impact and motion, aiming for memorable word shapes and a polished, high-end finish.
At larger sizes the hairline joins and thin cross strokes read as elegant details, while at smaller sizes they may become delicate compared to the heavy stems. The most striking effect comes from alternating thick uprights and near-wire diagonals, which gives words a distinctive, streaked motion and a strong vertical cadence.
