A high-contrast italic with sharp, tapered terminals and smooth, rounded bowls that keep the letterforms feeling streamlined rather than ornate. Strokes shift quickly from thick to hairline, with clean joins and a consistent forward slant that creates a fast, glossy rhythm. The capitals are tall and narrow with simplified, sans-like construction, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and tightly controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine hairlines for a refined, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text where its contrast and slant can carry the composition—magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and punchy campaign typography. It can also work for wordmarks and packaging accents where a sleek, upscale voice is desired, while longer body text will benefit from larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-adjacent, combining modern minimalism with a sense of drama from the steep slant and strong contrast. It reads confident and stylish, with an energetic, editorial cadence that suggests luxury and contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic-forward, high-contrast voice with clean, simplified forms—combining a modern, sans-leaning structure with dramatic stroke modulation for impactful editorial use.
The thin horizontals and hairline connections are visually delicate, especially in forms like E/F/T and in the figures, which gives the face a premium sheen but can make very small sizes feel lighter and more fragile. The oblique angle and condensed-feeling capitals create a strong directional flow across lines, emphasizing motion and emphasis over neutrality.
