A sharply slanted, high-contrast display face built from broad, flattened strokes and knife-thin hairlines. Curves are tightened into oval and teardrop-like counters, while terminals often finish in crisp wedges or abrupt cutoffs, creating a chiseled silhouette. The overall rhythm feels fast and forward-leaning, with occasional razor-line strokes that act like incisions through heavier forms (notably in diagonals and joins). Spacing reads compact in words, and the strong thick–thin interplay produces a striking black-and-white texture at both uppercase and lowercase sizes.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand-driven typography where high contrast and sharp detailing can remain clear. It can add a distinctive editorial voice to fashion, culture, and nightlife materials, and works well for short phrases or logotype-style wordmarks rather than long body copy.
The tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, mixing luxury-editorial polish with a slightly experimental, cut-paper edge. Its pronounced slant and extreme contrast give it a sense of speed and attitude, suited to attention-grabbing headlines and branding moments where refinement and provocation meet.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a clean, sans-derived skeleton through extreme contrast and italic momentum, aiming for a premium, contemporary look with memorable, blade-like detailing. Its forms prioritize impact and stylistic signature over quiet neutrality, signaling a headline and identity focus.
The design leans on simplified, largely sans-like constructions but pushes them into display territory through exaggerated contrast and tapered detailing. Numerals share the same sculpted logic, with bold bodies interrupted by fine strokes, keeping the set visually consistent in runs of type.
