A jagged, handwritten display face built from sharp, wedge-like strokes and uneven, brush-cut terminals. Letterforms lean forward with an italic slant and show purposeful inconsistency in widths and contours, creating a lively, improvised rhythm. Counters are often angular and partially open, curves are faceted rather than smooth, and joins frequently pinch into points, giving the alphabet a carved, scratchy silhouette. Overall spacing feels variable, with energetic alternation between narrow, stabbing forms and wider, blockier shapes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, splash screens, headlines, stickers, and punchy packaging moments. It also works well for comic-style dialogue, game titles, and album/merch graphics where a rough, high-energy voice is desirable. For longer passages, its irregularity is more effective in small doses as a stylistic accent.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat tone—like quick marker lettering or stylized comic graffiti rendered with a blade-cut brush. Its spiky geometry and irregular cadence read as rebellious and humorous, suggesting motion, attitude, and a touch of mayhem rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, expressive voice that feels handmade and unpredictable, prioritizing personality and impact over typographic restraint. The forward slant and chiseled stroke endings appear intended to inject speed and attitude into display typography.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent “slashed” construction, and several glyphs emphasize dramatic diagonals and knife-edge terminals. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular bowls and abrupt direction changes that prioritize character over neutrality.
