A heavy, slanted display face built from chunky, angular silhouettes with clipped corners and abrupt diagonal cuts. The letterforms read as solid masses with collapsed counters and only occasional notches or cuts to suggest internal structure. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but the overall shapes are irregular and faceted, creating a staggered rhythm across words. Terminals tend to be blunt and beveled, and the spacing feels tight and compact, producing dense, high-impact texture in text lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and entertainment or music visuals. It works especially well when set large with ample breathing room, where its faceted cuts and slanted energy remain legible and intentional.
The tone is loud and combative, with a gritty, poster-like presence that suggests speed and impact. Its jagged facets and forward lean lend a sense of motion and urgency, evoking arcade, action, and underground aesthetics rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, counterless forms and aggressive corner geometry, trading finesse for immediacy. Its forward-leaning construction and irregular cuts suggest a deliberate effort to convey motion, toughness, and a loud, graphic voice in display typography.
The solid construction and frequent corner clipping make small sizes prone to filling in, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive cut-in details that differentiate similar shapes. Numerals and capitals match the same beveled, blocky logic, keeping the set visually consistent and emphatic.
