A heavy, slanted display face built from chunky, squared forms and flattened curves. Many strokes feature repeated stepped notches along one side, creating a serrated, motion-mark effect that reads like built-in speed lines. Counters are tight and rectangular, terminals tend to be blunt, and the overall construction feels compressed into forward-leaning, wedge-like silhouettes. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing an irregular, custom-cut rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, esports or motorsport branding, game titles, and punchy logos. It can also work for packaging callouts or UI labels when used at larger sizes where the serrated detailing stays clear.
The font projects velocity and impact—like racing graphics, arcade titles, or action-game UI. Its jagged side detailing adds a slightly chaotic, industrial edge that can feel playful but confrontational, emphasizing energy over refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic speed and abrasion through consistent stepped cut-ins, turning each glyph into a dynamic, motion-charged shape. The goal seems to be immediate recognizability and a distinctive texture that stands out in display typography.
The stepped side cuts are a dominant motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving strong texture even at a glance. In longer text the repeated notches can create dense horizontal activity, so it reads best when allowed breathing room and used for emphasis rather than continuous small-size copy.
