A heavy, right-slanted display face built from sharp, angular forms and chamfered corners. The letterforms use wedge-like terminals and notched cuts that create a faceted, almost stencil-like rhythm, with small counters and dense interior shapes that emphasize mass. Proportions are expanded overall, while individual glyphs vary in width for a lively, uneven cadence; curves are simplified into geometric segments, and joins tend to form pointed shoulders and hard transitions.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its angular cuts and forward motion can read clearly—posters, headlines, event graphics, esports or gaming UI accents, and punchy brand marks. It can also work for short wordmarks or badges, but is less appropriate for long passages where the dense counters and decorative cuts may reduce readability.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, mixing a sporty, arcade-like punch with a slightly industrial edge. Its jagged detailing and forward lean suggest speed, impact, and a mischievous, unconventional attitude rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold massing, forward slant, and irregular, cut-in detailing that makes each glyph feel engineered and fast. It prioritizes personality and motion over neutrality, aiming to stand out in attention-driven contexts.
The distinctive notches and wedge terminals are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “cut metal” feel. At smaller sizes the tight counters and interior cuts may visually fill in, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a key decorative feature.
