A heavy, right-leaning display face with broad proportions and compact counters, built from chunky, slightly condensed internal shapes and sharply cut terminals. Many strokes end in wedge-like notches and jagged bite marks that create a serrated silhouette, while joins alternate between rounded mass and abrupt, angular breaks. The uppercase feels more rigid and blocky; the lowercase carries a bouncier rhythm with single-storey forms and pronounced slant. Numerals match the same dense weight and chiseled, cut-in detailing, keeping a consistent, high-ink look across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, punchy headlines, event graphics, game titles, sticker-style branding, and energetic sports or entertainment promos. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a bold, kinetic texture is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone reads fast, loud, and mischievous—like lettering pushed into motion with abrasive, comic-book energy. Its sharp notches and slanted stance add a sense of impact and attitude, giving it a tongue-in-cheek toughness that lands somewhere between sporty intensity and wacky spectacle.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a sense of motion, using jagged cut-ins and wedge terminals to create a distinctive, irregular texture. It prioritizes personality and impact over neutrality, aiming for a recognizable, one-off display voice.
At text sizes the interior cut-ins can visually fill in, so the design reads best when given room to show its serrated terminals and chiseled joins. The uneven edge accents create a lively texture across a line, producing a strong “moving” rhythm even in static words.
