A tightly condensed, steeply slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and sharply cut terminals. Many letters are built from tapered, blade-like verticals with narrow counters and frequent interior slits or notches that create a segmented, stencil-like feel. Curves are compressed and somewhat angular, with pointed joins and minimal rounding, producing a taut rhythm and strong forward motion. Figures follow the same narrow, cut-in construction, keeping the overall texture dense and emphatic in both display lines and short text samples.
Best used for headlines, posters, and branding where compression and impact are desirable, such as sports graphics, apparel marks, energetic packaging, and editorial display callouts. It can also work for short subheads or labels when you want dense texture and strong directional emphasis, but its distinctive cut-in shapes make it less suitable for extended reading.
The face reads fast, loud, and kinetic—more like a shout than a conversation. Its sliced forms and aggressive slant evoke speed, machinery, and poster-era bravura, giving it a punchy, high-adrenaline tone that feels suited to action-forward messaging.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact condensed italic display sans that communicates speed and intensity through tightly packed proportions and repeated incised cuts. Its consistent “sliced” construction suggests a goal of creating a recognizable, poster-ready voice that stays legible while remaining highly stylized.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, forming dark, continuous word shapes; the internal cuts help prevent large black masses at larger sizes. The design relies on repetition of the same angled “blade” motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, which makes headlines feel cohesive and graphic rather than typographic in a traditional sense.
