A steeply slanted, condensed display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline connections. The forms feel sheared and aerodynamic, with tall proportions, tight apertures, and a generally vertical, streamlined construction despite the strong italic angle. Curves are taut and controlled, while joins and terminals stay sharp and clean, creating a glossy, high-contrast rhythm across both capitals and lowercase.
Best used for headlines, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where a compact footprint and strong visual punch are desirable. It can work for short subheads and captions at generous sizes, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The font projects a high-drama, high-style tone—sleek, intense, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp contrast and aggressive slant read as contemporary and fashion-forward, with a sense of speed and emphasis that naturally pulls the eye through a line of text.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, high-energy italic voice that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. By combining sharp, hairline details with heavy main strokes and a pronounced slant, it emphasizes motion, luxury, and modern display presence.
In longer samples the extreme contrast and compression create striking word shapes, but the thin strokes and tight counters make it better suited to larger sizes and shorter runs. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact voice, with the slant and contrast helping figures pop in headings and pull quotes.
