A heavy, forward-slanted display face built from angular, blocky forms with sharp corners and frequent diagonal cuts. Many strokes are interrupted by slashes and notches that create a fragmented, streaked texture, giving the letters a sense of motion even when set static. Counters tend to be small and squared or wedge-like, and the joins are abrupt, producing an overall punchy, mechanical silhouette. The rhythm is intentionally uneven, with letterforms showing irregular internal breaks and varying structural emphasis that reads as designed distortion rather than handwriting.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, sports branding, gaming or esports graphics, and music/album artwork. It can also work for logos and packaging where a loud, action-oriented texture is desirable, especially when given ample size and spacing to keep the cut details legible.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a mischievous, slightly combative attitude. Its jagged cuts and leaning stance suggest speed, impact, and a glitchy, rebellious energy, making it feel more like a graphic effect than a neutral text tool.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through aggressive weight, a forward lean, and repeated diagonal “slice” motifs that simulate speed, wear, or interference. Rather than smooth readability, it prioritizes a distinctive texture and a sense of motion for display-oriented typography.
The distinctive internal slashes and chips are consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified “damaged” or “streaked” texture. At smaller sizes those details may merge visually, while at larger sizes they become a key part of the character.
