A slanted display face built from broad, powerful strokes and extreme thick–thin contrast. Letterforms are very wide with a compressed internal counter feel created by heavy verticals and tapered joins. Terminals frequently resolve into sharp wedge cuts and fine hairline flicks, giving many glyphs a sliced, calligraphic finish rather than a purely geometric one. Curves are brisk and taut, and the rhythm alternates between dense black masses and delicate hairline accents, producing a strongly stylized texture at text sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its razor-like hairlines and wedge terminals can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and culture magazines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short punchy copy, but the intense contrast and stylization are likely to overpower long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-fashion, with a theatrical sharpness that reads as premium and attention-grabbing. Its cut, glossy contrasts and slanted posture suggest speed, glamour, and a slightly edgy sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary editorial voice by combining wide proportions with extreme contrast and sharply cut terminals. The repeated slash-like details and tapered joins suggest a deliberate “crafted” look aimed at standout display typography rather than neutral text setting.
Several characters show distinctive diagonal cut-ins and hairline “slashes” that become prominent when enlarged, acting almost like built-in flourish marks. The wide set and strong contrast make spacing and line breaks visually consequential, favoring generous margins and carefully managed tracking in headlines.
