A heavy, forward-slanted display face with chunky, squared forms and sharply cut terminals. Letterforms are built from broad strokes with noticeable wedge-like notches and angular corners, creating a chiseled silhouette and a strong, graphic rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, while joins and cross-strokes are simplified into blocky slabs that emphasize mass over finesse. Spacing and internal shapes vary by glyph, adding an intentionally irregular, custom-cut feel that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, poster titling, short emphatic phrases, and identity work where a bold, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports or action-oriented branding, game/arcade-inspired graphics, and energetic event promotions, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic—more action-title than text-book. Its sharp cuts and sprinting slant suggest speed, impact, and a slightly mischievous attitude, evoking arcade, comic, and extreme-sports aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a fast, slanted stance and rugged, cut-out details. Its irregular, carved geometry prioritizes character and motion over neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly in display contexts.
Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same hard-edged, sculpted language as the lowercase, helping headings feel cohesive. The strong diagonals and distinctive notches create recognizable word shapes, but the dense counters and heavy fill can visually darken in long lines.
