A heavy, slanted display face built from chunky strokes and sharp, faceted joins. Forms lean forward with brisk, irregular rhythm, using chamfered corners and wedge-like terminals that create a cut-metal, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking strokes apart. Counters are compact and angular, and the overall silhouette reads as blocky and energetic, with small spur details and asymmetric cuts adding a deliberately roughened finish.
Best suited to posters, punchy headlines, title cards, and branding that needs impact at a distance. It also fits sports-themed graphics, arcade or action-oriented game titling, and merchandise or packaging where a bold, unconventional texture adds personality.
The tone is brash and high-energy, mixing a retro athletic attitude with a mischievous, off-kilter edge. Its jagged cuts and forward slant suggest speed, impact, and a bit of comic unruliness rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a distinctive, cut-and-chisel aesthetic—combining forward motion with quirky, irregular details to stand out in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same assertive, faceted construction, keeping the texture consistent across words. Numerals echo the same clipped geometry, helping the font hold together in headlines and short bursts of text.
