A decorative, fragmented alphabet built from sparse strokes and scattered triangular chips, leaving large areas of negative space inside each letterform. The core skeleton reads as a simple sans, but its outlines are repeatedly broken and notched by sharp, angled voids that create a torn or eroded texture. Curves are implied with discontinuous segments, while straight strokes appear interrupted into short runs, producing a jittery rhythm across words. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, reinforcing a rough, irregular cadence even in longer text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as poster headlines, event flyers, album/cover art, and attention-grabbing branding moments where texture and attitude are desired. It can work as an accent font paired with a clean companion for body copy, using its broken patterning to add contrast and visual tension.
The overall tone is mischievous and disruptive—like type that has been glitched, shredded, or cut from paper into confetti. It feels energetic and offbeat, with a DIY, collage-like attitude that prioritizes visual texture over smooth readability. The repeated triangular bites add a sharp, edgy character that reads more experimental than polished.
The design appears intended to transform a plain, readable underlying structure into a bold texture system—using repeated triangular removals to create a controlled sense of damage and motion. It aims to feel unconventional and graphic, functioning as much as an image-making tool as a set of letterforms.
At display sizes the internal fragmentation becomes the main graphic feature; at smaller sizes the fine gaps and chips risk collapsing into noise, so the texture can dominate the letter identity. The diagonal, slanted bite pattern creates a strong directional motion across lines, giving headlines a restless, animated feel.
