A heavy, right-leaning display face built from chunky, rounded forms that are repeatedly cut with jagged, horizontal notches. Many strokes terminate in tapered points, while the interior counters stay relatively open, creating a bold silhouette with strong negative/positive contrast. The repeated "speed-line" carving is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the set a uniform, animated texture. Curves are simplified and muscular, and the overall rhythm reads like a continuous forward motion rather than static geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and logo wordmarks where the motion-like carving can be appreciated. It can also work for sports or gaming-related branding, merch graphics, and energetic social media promos where an aggressive, kinetic tone is desired.
The letterforms suggest motion, impact, and a slightly mischievous edge—more "zoom" than refined. Its serrated cuts and slanted stance evoke action graphics, arcade energy, and comic-style emphasis, with a tone that is loud, punchy, and intentionally unconventional.
The design appears intended to transform simple bold italic shapes into a sense of speed and impact through repeated jagged cut-ins, producing a dynamic, attention-grabbing novelty texture for display typography.
The distinctive notched treatment is the primary identifying feature and will dominate at any size, so the face reads best when given room to breathe. In paragraphs the repeated internal cuts create a dense texture and strong visual vibration, which can be used as a stylistic effect rather than for long-form comfort.
