A very heavy, display-oriented alphabet built from broad geometric masses that are repeatedly interrupted by diagonal slashes and wedge-shaped cutouts. Curves are simplified into near-circular bowls and chunky arcs, while many joins and terminals resolve into sharp points or beveled angles. The internal “knockouts” behave like stencil breaks, creating a consistent rhythm of negative space that slices through stems and counters. Overall spacing and letterfit feel intentionally irregular and lively, with compact counters and emphatic silhouettes that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, editorial headlines, logotypes, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for themed graphics where a sliced-stencil or retro show aesthetic is desired, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small-size UI text due to its busy interior breaks.
The cut-and-slashed forms give the face a theatrical, poster-like attitude with a slightly mischievous edge. Its crisp wedges and bold geometry evoke a vintage show-card or Deco-inspired flair, while the recurring gaps add an experimental, hand-cut feel. The result is energetic and attention-seeking rather than neutral or text-focused.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through oversized shapes and systematic diagonal cutouts, creating a recognizable signature even in a few characters. By combining simplified geometric construction with dramatic negative-space slashes, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that feels both retro-leaning and experimental.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same visual system of diagonal interruptions, helping the style remain cohesive across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same motif, with strong diagonals and broken strokes that emphasize motion and contrast between solid and void. The distinctive negative-space cuts are a defining feature, so background color and reproduction quality will strongly affect perceived sharpness and legibility.
