A slanted, high-contrast text face with sharp, wedge-like terminals and crisp joins that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavier verticals and tapered horizontals, producing a lively rhythm across words. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady, readable x-height, while counters stay open enough for text use despite the strong modulation. Figures follow the same contrast and slant, with curving forms that emphasize weight shifts and tapered endings.
Works best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where the strong contrast and slanted rhythm can provide emphasis. It can also suit brand marks and campaign typography that want a refined, fashion-forward edge, and it may be used for short text passages when set with comfortable leading and not-too-tight tracking.
The overall tone feels editorial and assertive, combining traditional calligraphic energy with a polished, contemporary sharpness. It projects sophistication and motion, making text feel dynamic and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a sharp, expressive italic voice with pronounced stroke modulation—balancing readability with a distinctive, editorial presence for display-led typography.
Capitals are designed to stand out with strong silhouettes and pointed terminals, while the lowercase maintains a consistent forward lean and smooth, continuous curves. The slant and contrast create a noticeable texture in paragraphs, so spacing and line length will influence how energetic or dense the set appears.
