A condensed, right-leaning display face built from hard angles and flat planes. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with frequent beveled corners, wedge-like terminals, and small spur details that create a cutout, notched silhouette. Counters are tight and often squared or faceted, and the overall rhythm feels brisk and compact, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut consistency across shapes. Numerals and caps carry the same blocky, chamfered construction, reading best at larger sizes where the internal shaping can stay open.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and branding marks where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, event graphics, and entertainment or game-related designs that want a loud, stylized voice rather than quiet readability.
The tone is punchy and offbeat—part sporty signage, part comic aggression—delivering a high-energy, mischievous presence. Its sharp, carved forms and slanted stance give it a sense of motion and attitude, making it feel intentionally unconventional rather than strictly classic.
The letterforms appear designed to prioritize personality and momentum: a slanted, compact structure combined with chiseled corners and spur terminals to produce a distinctive, one-off display texture. The consistent faceting suggests an intention to mimic cut or carved shapes while keeping a strong, contemporary headline weight.
The design’s distinctive character comes from repeated chamfers and spur terminals that create a jagged profile along stems and joins. In longer lines of text the condensed width and dense black shapes can build strong texture, so generous tracking and line spacing can help maintain clarity.
