A slanted, chunky display face built from squared, rounded-corner silhouettes and broken, stencil-like counters. Each glyph is filled with irregular diagonal striping that creates a bold black-and-white texture, with subtle variations from character to character. Strokes tend toward geometric, blocky construction with softened corners, while the internal negative spaces feel carved or chipped, reinforcing the cutout effect. Overall spacing and rhythm read compact and punchy, prioritizing graphic impact over smooth typographic continuity.
Best used for posters, flyers, packaging accents, logo wordmarks, and music or nightlife graphics where texture and attitude are desirable. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the diagonal striping can read clearly and contribute to the overall graphic voice.
The striped interior treatment gives the font a loud, mischievous tone that feels hand-altered and streetwise. It reads as intentionally unconventional—part graffiti marker, part optical pattern—bringing a kinetic, slightly chaotic energy to headlines and short phrases.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, experimental display look by combining an italicized, geometric skeleton with a high-contrast striped texture. The goal appears to be immediate recognizability and motion through pattern, rather than conventional readability for continuous text.
The diagonal hatching becomes the dominant visual feature, producing a strong moiré-like texture at larger sizes and a rougher, noisier color at smaller sizes. The mix of squared forms and irregular interior breaks adds character, but also makes long passages feel busy and better suited to display settings.
