A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are interrupted by sharp, diagonal cut-ins that read like slashes or stencil breaks, producing a fragmented silhouette across most letters and numerals. Curves are slightly flattened and angular in places, and vertical stems often taper or kink subtly, creating an uneven rhythm that feels intentionally rough. The overall texture is dense and black, with small internal spaces and abrupt notches that add visual noise and motion.
Best suited to punchy display settings like posters, event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, and bold headline treatments where texture and attitude matter more than continuous readability. It can also work for logo wordmarks or merch graphics when you want an intentionally distressed, slashed look. Avoid using it for body text or small UI labels where the breaks and tight counters can blur together.
The font projects a rebellious, prankish energy—more handmade sabotage than polished geometry. Its slashed interruptions suggest danger tape, scratched signage, or a deliberately defaced poster, giving copy an edgy, impish attitude. The irregular cadence keeps the tone lighthearted but unruly, making it feel like a one-off headline voice rather than a neutral workhorse.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly recognizable, disruptive display voice by combining compact, tall letterforms with aggressive diagonal interruptions. The goal appears to be maximum impact and personality—creating a ‘cut up’ stencil/scratch effect that reads as energetic, informal, and deliberately imperfect.
Because the cuts and narrow openings are a major part of the character, legibility drops quickly at small sizes and in long passages. It performs best when given room—larger sizes, short lines, and ample spacing—so the internal breaks remain distinct rather than filling in visually.
