A heavy, slanted display face built from chunky, rounded letterforms that are repeatedly interrupted by horizontal slices. Each glyph reads as if a wavy band has been cut through the middle, creating broken counters and stepped edges while preserving overall silhouette. The shapes feel soft-cornered and somewhat condensed within their wide stance, with irregular internal breaks that vary from character to character and give the texture a deliberately unstable rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and logo wordmarks where the sliced texture becomes a defining graphic element. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or packaging callouts when set large and with generous spacing.
The repeating midline ruptures create a glitch-and-collage attitude that feels mischievous and disruptive rather than polished. It suggests DIY energy and visual noise—more about impact and character than clarity—making the tone feel cheeky, loud, and slightly chaotic.
The design appears intended to fuse a bold, friendly base with an intentional “interrupted” effect, turning ordinary letterforms into a kinetic, cut-and-spliced texture. The goal is likely to deliver immediate visual attitude and motion, prioritizing expressive texture over continuous stroke integrity.
The horizontal cut pattern is consistent enough to read as a system, but irregular enough to keep the texture lively in text. At smaller sizes the breaks can visually merge, so the design’s character is strongest when given room to breathe and when contrast between text and background is high.
