A heavy, slanted display face built from angular, faceted strokes with sharp corners and frequent cut-in notches. Counters are compact and often squared-off, while terminals tend to end in abrupt wedges that create a chiseled, mechanical feel. The overall rhythm is dynamic and forward-leaning, with a mix of broad main strokes and tight interior cuts that add texture and visual bite. Letterforms stay consistently geometric and compact, emphasizing impact over smoothness or delicacy.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted details can read clearly: posters, headlines, event graphics, game titles, team or motorsport-style branding, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for short callouts, packaging bursts, and attention-grabbing social graphics, but is less comfortable for dense paragraphs.
The font projects a loud, kinetic personality—part arcade/action, part comic exaggeration. Its sharp cuts and forward motion read as fast, tough, and slightly mischievous, giving headlines a playful aggressiveness rather than a refined tone.
The design appears intended to maximize immediacy and motion through a strong slant, sharp geometry, and deliberate notching. Its forms prioritize character and attitude, aiming for a punchy, decorative look that feels fast and action-oriented.
Distinctive notching appears across many glyphs, producing a stamped or carved effect that increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals match the same angular language, keeping the set cohesive for short, high-impact strings.
