A heavy, right-slanted display face with compact counters, rounded outer bowls, and aggressively jagged cut-ins that read like torn brush edges or chiseled notches. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but their outlines are irregular, with sharp spur-like terminals and small triangular bites taken from joins and ends. The letterforms have a slightly squashed, forward-leaning rhythm, mixing soft curves (O, C, S) with abrupt angular intrusions that create a distinctive, restless texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and energetic branding where texture and attitude are an advantage. It can work well on packaging or promo graphics that need a kinetic, comic/action feel, but its aggressive detailing may be overwhelming for long reading or small sizes.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous—like a cartoon action title with a rough, rebellious edge. Its irregular cuts and forward slant give it a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded forms keep it playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through a bold silhouette and deliberately irregular, cut-away detailing. It prioritizes motion, texture, and a distinctive word-shape over neutrality, aiming to look hand-made and high-energy in display contexts.
In text settings the repeated notches create a strong patterning effect and can visually darken word shapes, especially in dense lines. The numerals follow the same chunky, slanted construction, keeping a consistent, punchy color across mixed alphanumeric uses.
