A heavy, slanted display sans with compact proportions and strongly carved, angular terminals. Strokes are thick and assertive, with crisp wedge-like cuts and occasional notched joins that create a faceted, almost stenciled rhythm. Curves are tightened and slightly squarish in places (notably in bowls and counters), while diagonals and sharp corners dominate the silhouette. The overall texture is dense and punchy, optimized for attention-grabbing word shapes rather than quiet, continuous reading.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, sports and gaming graphics, labels, and event promotions where bold shape and momentum matter. It can also work for logos and wordmarks, particularly when paired with a quieter companion for body copy.
The font conveys speed and impact, with a bold, athletic attitude that feels at home in high-energy, competitive contexts. Its chiseled shapes and forward lean give it a retro action flavor—confident, loud, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force with a fast, forward-leaning stance and distinctive cut-in details. Its constructed, faceted terminals suggest a focus on creating a memorable display voice rather than a neutral everyday sans.
Letterforms show deliberate irregularities in internal cuts and joining angles that add character and motion, especially visible in the uppercase and in rounded letters like O/Q and numerals such as 2–5. The density and tight counters suggest it benefits from generous tracking and adequate size to keep interior spaces from closing up in print or on screen.
