A heavy, slanted display face built from blocky, wide letterforms with sharp, wedge-like cuts and frequent notches. Terminals are consistently chamfered, producing a faceted silhouette and a sense of forward motion. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and many glyphs include horizontal slicing or inset breaks that create a layered, speed-stripe effect. The overall rhythm is punchy and tight, with sturdy strokes and crisp angles dominating curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, title cards, and attention-grabbing branding—especially in sports, racing, action-themed events, or arcade/game contexts. It works well where the design can be set large enough for the notches and cut-ins to read as intentional detailing rather than noise.
The font reads loud and kinetic, mixing a sporty, action-oriented attitude with a slightly mischievous, comic edge. Its sharp cuts and forward slant suggest speed and impact, while the irregular cut-ins give it a wacky, customized feel rather than a strictly utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a bold, forward-leaning stance and angular, carved detailing. The repeated chamfers and slice-like cutouts create a signature motif aimed at conveying speed, attitude, and a one-off decorative identity for display typography.
Numerals and capitals share the same chamfered construction and stepped cutouts, keeping the set visually consistent. The distinctive internal breaks can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they add texture and character in larger settings.
