A sharply slanted, high-contrast display italic with condensed proportions and an energetic forward rhythm. Thick strokes read as solid black wedges while hairlines collapse to razor-thin diagonals and tapering joins, creating a striking light–dark flicker across words. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed terminals and frequent angled cuts that feel sliced rather than rounded. Counters are compact and apertures are selective, giving the overall texture a dense, glossy presence while maintaining crisp, refined outlines.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and internal cuts can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, fashion and culture headlines, posters, campaign art, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging titles, but is less appropriate for long passages of small text due to its intense contrast and dense rhythm.
The tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking fashion headlines and premium editorial typography. Its extreme contrast and incisive hairlines add a sense of speed and precision, reading as confident, glamorous, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to maximize elegance and impact through extreme contrast, condensed width, and a pronounced italic cadence. It prioritizes a distinctive, editorial voice—balancing refined hairlines with bold, sculpted strokes to create memorable word shapes for display typography.
The design leans on diagonal hairline gestures that sometimes act like internal seams or cuts, emphasizing the italic motion and giving several letters a distinctive, stylized silhouette. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, mixing bold masses with delicate entry/exit strokes for a cohesive, high-impact set.
