A steeply slanted, condensed display face built from tall, blocky forms with crisp, angular terminals and a sculpted, cut-in look. Strokes are heavy with noticeable internal notches and wedge-like counters that create a segmented, almost stencil-adjacent rhythm without fully breaking shapes apart. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle bowls, and joins stay sharp and mechanical, giving letters a muscular, compressed silhouette and a fast forward-leaning texture in words.
Best used at display sizes where the internal cut details remain clear—posters, event titles, packaging callouts, sports or action-themed branding, and punchy logotypes. It can work for short emphatic lines on web or video graphics, but will feel intense and busy in small text or dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is loud, kinetic, and slightly mischievous—more action-title than neutral typography. Its exaggerated slant and narrow build evoke speed, impact, and a retro-futuristic attitude, while the carved interior details add a quirky, custom-signage flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, speed-driven display font that stands out through extreme slant, condensed proportions, and carved interior shaping. The consistent notching suggests a deliberate attempt to add character and motion without relying on novelty symbols—aiming for an instantly recognizable, poster-ready texture.
The distinctive cut-ins (seen repeatedly across capitals and lowercase) create strong vertical highlights and shadows that can shimmer in longer lines. Numerals follow the same compressed, high-impact construction, staying consistent with the uppercase’s tall stance.
