A slanted, high-contrast display face with broad proportions and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes often end in sharp, tapered terminals, with several letters showing a blade-like diagonal entry or exit that suggests a calligraphic tool rather than a geometric construction. Curves are smooth and full but tightened by crisp cut-ins and narrow joins, creating a dynamic rhythm across words. The lowercase pairs a two-storey a with a single-storey g, and the numerals echo the same contrast and angled stress, keeping the set visually consistent in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and large-format statements where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can work well for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, fashion-leaning voice, and for short pull quotes or titling where a dramatic typographic gesture is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and style-forward, combining elegance with a slightly aggressive sharpness. It reads as contemporary and editorial, with a runway/poster energy that feels designed to grab attention rather than disappear into body copy.
The design appears intended as an attention-driven display italic that blends modern editorial polish with calligraphic sharpness. Its wide stance and razor terminals seem crafted to create distinctive word shapes and a luxurious, high-impact texture in big sizes.
The alphabet leans on angular diagonals (notably in letters like K, V, W, X, Y) that heighten motion and give headlines a sense of speed. Counters are relatively open for a contrasted style, but the extreme tapering and thin hairlines make the texture feel crisp and high-impact at display sizes.
