This is a heavy, right-leaning display face built from chunky, rounded-rectangle forms that are interrupted by sharp, jagged cut-ins. Many strokes end in pointed, fin-like protrusions, giving the silhouettes a serrated, wind-swept look while keeping overall letter bodies dense and blocky. Counters are relatively small and tightly enclosed, and the numerals and capitals share the same muscular, cutaway treatment for a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent applications where the dramatic shapes can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and game or sports-themed graphics. It can also work for comic-style titles or event promotions where an energetic, action-forward tone is desired.
The repeated spike and slash motifs create a sense of motion and impact, like lettering caught in a rush of speed or carved by a blade. It reads as intentionally brash and attention-grabbing, with a humorous, comic-book edge that feels energetic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to convert a bold, blocky sans foundation into a kinetic novelty style by adding consistent speed-slice notches and spiky terminals. The goal seems to be maximum visual punch and motion in display settings rather than quiet readability for extended text.
In the sample text, the aggressive notches and tight counters make long passages feel busy, especially at smaller sizes, but the distinctive silhouettes remain strong. The overall rhythm is driven by repeated triangular cutouts and forward-leaning terminals, which can create a lively, choppy pattern across a word.
