A heavy, right-leaning display face with an irregular, cut-paper silhouette and a consistent diagonal scratch texture running through each glyph. Strokes are chunky and high-contrast in feel due to sharp notches and abrupt tapers, with pointed terminals and occasional wedge-like serifs. The texture creates broken counters and uneven edges, giving the letters a distressed, carved or slashed look while maintaining a coherent overall rhythm across the set.
Best suited for short display settings where the diagonal distressing can read clearly—posters, punchy headlines, album or game titles, packaging, and attention-grabbing event collateral. It can also work as a texture-forward accent in branding systems when used sparingly and at generous sizes.
The tone is playful and unruly, like a comic villain title card or a DIY punk poster. Its slanted stance and aggressive scarring read as energetic and a bit mischievous, balancing humor with a rough, disruptive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, one-off personality through deliberate irregularity and a signature scratch pattern. It aims to feel handcrafted and energetic, adding a built-in “damaged” graphic effect without requiring additional styling.
Capitals are compact and punchy, while lowercase forms keep a simplified, display-oriented structure that prioritizes attitude over refinement. Numerals match the same gouged treatment, so mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified. The diagonal pattern is prominent enough to become a defining graphic element, especially at larger sizes.
