A sharply slanted, high-contrast sans with tapered strokes and clean, serifless terminals. The forms are condensed and vertical in their underlying structure, but the italic angle and stroke modulation create a lively diagonal rhythm. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, with pointed joins and narrow apertures that keep counters compact. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing thin hairlines with thicker stressed strokes for a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial settings where contrast and slant are assets. It can work well for fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine covers, posters, and campaign typography, especially when set with generous tracking and ample leading to let the thin strokes breathe.
The overall tone is sleek and upscale, balancing modern minimalism with a distinctly calligraphic, fashion-forward energy. Its strong diagonal flow reads confident and dramatic, lending a sense of speed and sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary italic voice with strong contrast and condensed proportions, offering a refined alternative to traditional italic serifs while retaining a calligraphic sense of stress and movement.
In running text the alternating thick–thin pattern produces a pronounced shimmer, and the narrow proportions keep word shapes compact. Capitals feel especially emphatic due to their tall, tapered silhouettes, while lowercase maintains a similar tension through sharp, angled details and restrained spacing.
