A very heavy, right-leaning display face with sharp, angular construction and a distinctly segmented feel to its strokes. Many terminals are cut on hard diagonals or capped with slab-like wedges, producing a chiseled, almost stamped silhouette. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, with squared interior shapes, and the overall rhythm is compact with occasional width shifts that add irregularity. The numerals and lowercase echo the same beveled, notched detailing, keeping a consistent, graphic texture across the set.
Best used for short, bold statements where its angular detailing and strong slant can read cleanly—headlines, posters, game or entertainment titles, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It works particularly well when set large with generous spacing, or in high-contrast color treatments that emphasize its carved, graphic edges.
The letterforms project a loud, kinetic attitude—part sporty, part comic-book—where the aggressive angles and chunky massing read as intentionally wacky rather than formal. Its offbeat cuts and exaggerated italic slant give it a mischievous, attention-grabbing tone suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact novelty display face that prioritizes character and momentum over neutrality. Its cut, slabbed terminals and compact, punchy shapes suggest a deliberate attempt to feel fast, loud, and distinctive in branding and titling contexts.
The heavy weight and tight apertures create strong black shapes that can fill in visually at small sizes, while the distinctive diagonal cuts remain clear when given room. The italic angle is pronounced, and the repeated wedge motifs create a fast, forward-motion impression across words.
