A heavily stylized, right-leaning slab-serif display face built from chunky, rectangular strokes and abrupt, cut-in terminals. Many letters are bisected by sharp horizontal slashes that create a two-tone, “shaded” effect through white cutouts, giving forms a segmented, modular construction. Bowls and counters tend to be compact and often appear as narrow openings or banded ovals, while serifs read as blocky wedges rather than delicate brackets. Overall rhythm is energetic and irregular, with intentionally disrupted joins and occasional spike-like notches that emphasize motion and mechanical tension.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, esports or racing-themed branding, and game or film title cards. It can also work for logo marks or wordmarks where its distinctive sliced construction becomes a signature element, rather than for extended reading.
The font projects a hacked, high-speed attitude—part sci‑fi signage, part aggressive sports branding. Its sliced interiors and hard slabs create a sense of impact and velocity, making the text feel charged and slightly abrasive. The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a futuristic edge that suggests technology, racing, or cyberpunk-inflected visuals.
The design appears intended to fuse slab-serif mass with a deliberately disrupted, cut-through aesthetic, creating speed and tension through diagonal lean and horizontal slicing. The goal seems to be instant visual impact and a recognizable, tech-forward texture that reads as engineered rather than traditionally typographic.
In the sample text, the frequent internal cutlines create strong texture and pattern at word level, sometimes pulling attention away from individual letter recognition. The slanted stance and segmented shading work best when given room to breathe, as dense settings can become visually busy.
