A highly slanted, right-leaning display face with extreme thick–thin modulation and long hairline strokes. Curves are drawn with crisp, tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like endings, while many verticals reduce to near-hairline stems, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are generally open and oval, and the overall color is sparkling and discontinuous due to the frequent transitions between solid strokes and razor-thin lines. Letterforms vary noticeably in width and internal spacing, reinforcing a dynamic, fashion-forward texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and editorial display settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for fashion, beauty, and cultural branding, as well as posters and premium packaging where a refined, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, with a couture/editorial feel that reads as contemporary luxury. Its sharp contrasts and pronounced slant add energy and attitude, suggesting sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary display voice that blends sans-like simplicity with calligraphic stroke logic. Its exaggerated contrast, angled stress, and hairline details prioritize visual elegance and personality, aiming to create memorable typographic moments in short phrases and titles.
The most delicate strokes become very fine at small sizes, while the heavier strokes carry the legibility; this creates strong hierarchy and a striking “ink-and-hairline” pattern in longer lines. In running text, the strong slant and thin joins emphasize rhythm over neutrality, making it best as a statement style rather than a quiet workhorse.
