This typeface uses a pronounced rightward slant with strong thick–thin modulation, producing crisp, tapered strokes and sharp terminals. Letterforms are compact and rhythmically consistent, with rounded counters in C/O/Q and sturdy, sculpted joins in letters like n/m and k. The uppercase has a slightly formal, inscriptional feel with clean, controlled curves, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement, including a single-storey a and a lively, looping g. Numerals are sturdy and high-contrast, with a distinctive, open “4” and rounded, weighty bowls in “6/8/9.”
It performs best in display sizes where the high contrast and slanted momentum can read clearly—headlines, posters, cover lines, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and packaging copy when a bold, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, pairing a classic italic flavor with a contemporary, punchy presence. It feels expressive without becoming ornamental, giving text a forward motion that reads as confident and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver an impactful italic voice with a refined, editorial polish—combining strong contrast and compact proportions to create fast, attention-grabbing typography that still feels disciplined and readable.
Diagonal strokes (notably in N, V, W, X, and y) emphasize speed and direction, and the strong contrast creates a striking texture in larger settings. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals lean toward sharp, wedge-like finishing, helping the face stay crisp in headlines.
