A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, rounded forms and prominent cut-in apertures that read like teardrop counters and notched joints. Strokes are broadly uniform but show visible modulation through angled terminals and internal scoops, creating a crisp, carved look rather than a purely geometric build. Curves are tight and inflated, joins are smooth, and many letters feature distinctive interior “bites” that add contrast and rhythm. The overall silhouette is sturdy and high-coverage, with energetic diagonals and a slightly compressed, forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted counters and slanted energy can be appreciated—posters, big headlines, branding marks, team/sports graphics, and bold packaging statements. It works well when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the character of the internal cut-ins.
The font conveys speed and attitude, mixing a retro display feel with a sporty, arcade-like edge. Its bold massing and stylized counters make it feel playful and attention-grabbing, with a hint of sci‑fi or action-title drama.
Likely designed as an expressive display sans that prioritizes punch and memorability, using repeated notch-and-scoop motifs and a forward slant to suggest motion and modern impact.
Distinctive internal cutouts recur across many glyphs, giving the type a cohesive, emblematic signature that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The italic slant and angled terminals reinforce motion, while the dense black shapes can reduce openness in smaller settings.
