A slanted, bold-leaning display face built from chunky, simplified forms with irregular edges and frequent cut-ins. Letter shapes are largely geometric and sans in construction, but the outlines are intentionally uneven, giving a hand-cut or torn-paper feel. A consistent diagonal striping is baked into each glyph, creating a high-contrast, textured interior that breaks up counters and strokes. Curves are slightly lumpy, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels intentionally lively rather than strictly uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the striped texture can read as part of the visual design—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event flyers, and music or nightlife branding. It can also work for logos or wordmarks when used large with ample spacing, or as a textured layer in editorial spreads. For longer paragraphs, it’s more effective as an accent font than a primary text face.
The overall tone is mischievous and kinetic—more poster-ready than typographically polite. The diagonal hatching reads like marker shading or scratched-in ink, lending a DIY, street-art energy with a slightly chaotic, punky attitude. It communicates motion and noise even in short words, making it feel attention-grabbing and a bit subversive.
This design appears intended to merge a sturdy, legible display skeleton with a built-in distressed shading effect. The slant and diagonal hatching create a sense of speed and attitude, while the chunky proportions keep word shapes recognizable. Overall, it reads like an experimental, one-off display style meant to function as typography and pattern simultaneously.
The diagonal texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, acting as a signature motif. Because the striping intersects counters and joins, small sizes or dense copy may lose clarity, while large sizes emphasize the texture as a graphic element. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey forms and the numerals match the same cut-and-shade rhythm for cohesive titling.
