A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes are thick and consistently weighted, with softened outer corners and tight, horizontal counters that read as cut-in notches in several letters. Terminals are mostly blunt and angled, reinforcing a fast, aerodynamic silhouette; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are sturdy and compact rather than delicate. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals are wide and squat with similarly carved, inset apertures.
Well-suited for large display settings where impact and momentum matter—sports and esports identities, event posters, streaming thumbnails, and energetic product packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or title cards when set generously, but it is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is high-impact and motion-driven, suggesting speed, competition, and action. Its chunky forms and slanted stance feel bold and assertive, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a slightly playful, arcade-like edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, powerful display voice by combining wide, rounded geometry with aggressive slant and angular cut-ins. The consistent massing and compact apertures prioritize visual punch and a cohesive word shape over delicate detail.
Spacing appears tight and the dense interiors can close up in smaller sizes, so it reads best when given room to breathe. The distinctive inset cuts and angled joins create a strong, recognizable texture across words, producing a rhythmic, “sliced” look in continuous text.
