A bold, cutout-style sans with stencil-like breaks and small bridges that interrupt stems and bowls. Letterforms are slightly tilted with uneven verticals and subtly wobbly contours, giving the set a hand-cut, improvised feel rather than strict geometric precision. Terminals often end in angled, chiseled shapes, and many curves show deliberate notches or gaps that create a broken rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to an energetic, irregular texture in words.
Best suited to display settings where the fractured, stencil-cut character can be read as a graphic device—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album/cover art, and event or nightlife promotion. It works well in short phrases and large sizes where the bridges and gaps remain crisp and intentional.
The font reads as industrial and handmade at once—like spray-stencil lettering that’s been shifted, sliced, or assembled from cut paper. Its off-kilter slant and broken strokes add a mischievous, slightly chaotic tone that feels casual, streetwise, and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver a stencil/cutout look with a deliberately irregular, reverse-leaning stance, emphasizing motion and texture over neutrality. The repeating breaks and angled cuts suggest an intention to evoke DIY signage and industrial marking aesthetics while staying playful and approachable.
The stencil interruptions are prominent in round letters and counters (e.g., O/Q/0/8), creating strong visual motifs that repeat through the set. The numerals and capitals carry the most graphic punch, while the lowercase keeps the same broken-stroke language for consistent word shapes.
