A sharply slanted, heavy display face with jagged, brush-cut letterforms and irregular contours. Strokes appear carved rather than smoothly drawn, with abrupt angle changes, wedge terminals, and occasional notches that create a rough, torn-edge silhouette. Proportions are intentionally inconsistent, with bouncy baselines and variable internal counters that give the set a kinetic, hand-made rhythm. Numerals and caps share the same aggressive, faceted construction, keeping the texture consistently loud across text and headlines.
Best suited for short, high-impact uses such as posters, event flyers, album art, game or arcade-style titling, and comic or zine headers. It can work for punchy pull quotes or packaging callouts where attitude matters more than comfort, but it’s not ideal for body copy or small UI text.
The font conveys a noisy, mischievous attitude—more shout than speak—suggesting punk flyers, edgy humor, and street-mark energy. Its frantic diagonals and chipped shapes feel playful but confrontational, adding a sense of motion and disruption to any line of type.
The design appears intended to mimic a fast, aggressive hand-rendered mark—somewhere between brush lettering and cut-paper lettering—prioritizing energy and personality over typographic regularity. Its consistent slant and repeated wedge-like cuts suggest a deliberate system for creating a chaotic, expressive texture across the alphabet.
Because the outlines are highly irregular with tight counters and spiky joins, readability drops quickly at smaller sizes; the texture becomes stronger than individual letter recognition. The pronounced rightward slant and angular cuts create a constant forward push, especially noticeable in longer lines of text.
