A chunky, heavy display face with simplified sans-like skeletons that are repeatedly interrupted by irregular horizontal and diagonal “breaks,” creating a sliced, stencil-like texture through each glyph. Curves are broad and geometric, while joins and terminals often end in abrupt angles, giving the outlines a slightly battered, hand-tampered feel. Counters stay relatively open despite the weight, but the recurring cut-ins and notches introduce visual noise and a deliberately uneven rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display applications where the sliced texture can read clearly: posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, album or playlist artwork, and playful game or app title screens. It also works well for short phrases and branding marks that want a deliberately “broken” or experimental stamp.
The overall tone is mischievous and disruptive—like lettering that’s been hacked, taped, or glitched mid-print. It reads as energetic and offbeat, with a humorous, punky edge that feels designed to grab attention rather than behave politely in text.
The design intent appears to be taking a straightforward, blocky display structure and injecting controlled irregularity via consistent internal cut-outs, producing a distinctive, attention-grabbing silhouette. It aims for character and motion over neutrality, turning each glyph into a small graphic object with built-in texture.
In the text sample the internal breaks create strong texture and flicker, especially in rounded letters (C, O, S) and in multi-stem shapes (M, N, W) where the interruptions can visually cluster. At smaller sizes the cuts may compete with the letterforms, while at larger sizes they become a distinctive graphic motif.
