A sharply slanted, condensed display sans with extreme stroke contrast and a pronounced diagonal stress. Curves are taut and ovalized, while many joins and terminals resolve into thin, knife-like hairlines that taper abruptly against dense verticals. Counters are narrow and elongated, giving the alphabet a tall, runway-like stance; round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) appear vertically stretched with delicate inner spaces. The rhythm alternates between heavy, ink-trap-like dark strokes and filament-thin diagonals, producing a crisp, high-fashion texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its hairlines and contrast can be preserved: magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and striking poster headlines. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given generous tracking and high-quality output.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, with a couture, magazine-headline sensibility. Its razor contrast and steep italic slant read as fast, refined, and slightly theatrical, leaning toward luxury and modern glamour rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to translate high-contrast, calligraphic italic energy into a pared-back sans framework, prioritizing a sleek silhouette and dramatic rhythm over text-size robustness. The condensed build and tensioned curves suggest a focus on premium, attention-grabbing display typography.
Several glyphs emphasize dramatic hairline diagonals (notably in A, M, N, V, W, X), which can sparkle at large sizes but may disappear when reduced. The numerals match the letterforms’ tall proportions and contrast, maintaining a cohesive, editorial sheen across alphanumerics.
