A sharply slanted, heavy display face built from angular, chiseled forms and tight counters. Strokes show pronounced wedge-like terminals and spur cuts that create a carved, blade-like rhythm, with high-contrast notches and interior angles adding texture. The overall silhouette is compact and forward-leaning, with squarish bowls, clipped curves, and a mechanical consistency that keeps the irregular detailing cohesive across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the angular detailing can be appreciated—posters, title cards, event graphics, game or entertainment branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for punchy slogans or merchandising marks when set with generous size and careful spacing.
The font projects speed and attitude, mixing comic-book intensity with a slightly retro, arcade-like bravado. Its sharp cuts and aggressive lean give it a loud, assertive voice that feels playful yet confrontational, suited to attention-grabbing, high-energy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off display voice by combining an italicized, speed-driven stance with carved, irregular cuts that read as stylized aggression. The goal seems to be maximum impact and personality rather than quiet readability.
Spacing appears visually tight and the interior detailing can read as decorative “cuts” at smaller sizes, making the texture more prominent than the letterforms. Numerals and capitals carry the same spurred construction, helping the set feel unified for headline use.
