A heavy, right-leaning display face with chunky, extended forms and sharp, sawtooth notches cut into many strokes. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals often end in wedge-like points and abrupt cuts, giving the outlines a chiseled, irregular rhythm rather than smooth curves. The lowercase stays large and assertive with sturdy stems and a generally compact interior space, keeping color strong even in longer lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and promotional graphics where its jagged silhouette can be a focal point. It can also work for packaging or merch that benefits from a rowdy, action-driven personality, but it’s less comfortable for small-size reading or restrained editorial typography.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, combining speed-and-impact cues with a rough, cut-out energy. Its angular nicks and aggressive slant feel intentionally unruly, leaning toward comic, arcade, or stunt-style theatrics rather than refinement. The result reads as playful but confrontational—built to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through exaggerated weight, forward motion, and a signature set of sharp cut-ins that create a deliberately offbeat texture. It prioritizes character and immediacy over neutrality, aiming for a one-of-a-kind display voice that stands apart from standard bold italics.
The distinctive notch motif is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps the design feel unified despite the irregular cuts. The sample text shows a strong, dark paragraph color with pronounced directional movement; spacing looks best when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes so the internal details don’t fill in.
