A slanted, high-contrast design with long, tapered strokes and crisp, knife-like terminals. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic sweep and a distinctly diagonal stress, while straighter forms (like E, F, L, T) keep thin, extended horizontals that emphasize speed and direction. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous sidebearings and a rhythm that alternates between thick vertical-ish strokes and hairline connectors. The construction includes a few expressive, swooping details—seen in the Q tail, the g, and the looping descenders—giving the set a lively, drawn quality despite the clean overall finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and motion can be appreciated—fashion/editorial layouts, brand identities, premium packaging, and event or invitation typography. It can also work for pull quotes and display captions when ample size and clean printing or high-resolution screens are available.
The tone is polished and stylish, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a hint of theatrical flair. Its sharp contrasts and slanted posture read as confident and premium, more suited to expressive display than neutral text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic voice with pronounced contrast and calligraphic energy, balancing sharp modern edges with fluid, handwritten gestures for high-impact display settings.
In running text the hairlines become a defining feature, creating a delicate sparkle that rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. The numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with distinctive curves (notably 2, 3, and 9) that keep the set feeling cohesive and characterful.
