A slanted, heavy display face built from sharp, faceted strokes and flattened curves, with frequent chamfers and cut-in notches that create a carved, mechanical silhouette. Counters are compact and often polygonal, while terminals skew forward with wedge-like endings that reinforce speed and directionality. Stroke edges show deliberate irregularity and internal nicks/scrapes, giving the letters a distressed, cut-metal texture rather than a clean geometric finish. Overall widths and sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven, lively rhythm in words.
Best suited to display settings where the texture and sharp facets can be appreciated—posters, cover art, title cards, esports or gaming graphics, punchy branding marks, and energetic packaging. It works well for short phrases, where its irregular widths and aggressive slant can act as a visual hook.
The font reads loud and kinetic, with a mischievous, slightly aggressive tone. Its jagged construction and distressed detailing evoke action, arcade/sci‑fi styling, and a DIY custom-lettered feel, making it more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, stylized impact through forward-leaning geometry, faceted construction, and purposeful surface damage. Rather than aiming for neutrality or continuous text comfort, it prioritizes personality and motion, functioning as a one-off headline voice.
Distinctive horizontal slicing and notch details appear across many glyphs, which adds character at larger sizes but can visually fill in at small sizes. Numerals match the letterforms’ forward-leaning, angular logic, keeping headings and short numeric callouts stylistically consistent.
