A heavy, slanted display face with condensed proportions and compact counters. The forms are built from chunky, block-like strokes with rounded corners and frequent angled terminals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Several letters show deliberate “cuts” and notches—small internal gaps and sliced joins that add a fragmented, stencil-like texture without becoming fully modular. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered silhouette, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the large lowercase bodies and numerals that echo the same squared, cut-in construction.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, cover art, and branding where an assertive, fast-moving personality is desirable. It can work effectively for sports or action-themed graphics, game and streaming titles, packaging callouts, and punchy social media layouts, especially when set large and with strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a kinetic, action-oriented feel. The sliced details and aggressive slant evoke speed, impact, and a slightly comic, tongue-in-cheek attitude rather than refined elegance. It reads as attention-seeking and characterful, suited to expressive, high-energy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive twist: a condensed, slanted framework combined with purposeful cut-out details to create an energetic, slightly rebellious display voice. The consistent slicing motif suggests a goal of making each glyph feel customized and dynamic while maintaining a coherent, repeatable system.
Spacing appears tight and the dark mass is substantial, so the face performs best when given room—larger sizes, generous line spacing, or short bursts of text. The cut-ins create distinctive silhouettes that help recognition in headlines, but they also add visual noise that can build up in long paragraphs.
