A jagged, angular display face with slanted letterforms and an energetic, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes swing between chunky masses and sudden razor-thin nicks, with sharp corners, notches, and occasional interior cutouts that make counters feel carved rather than drawn. The baseline and sidebearings read intentionally uneven, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly staggered texture in words. Terminals are blunt and fractured, and many glyphs show wedge-like joins that amplify a torn, collaged look.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, album artwork, event flyers, titles, packaging callouts, and on-screen graphics where a raw, handmade texture is desirable. It works well when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy, letting the font carry the expressive voice in headings and logos.
The overall tone feels loud and unruly, like DIY gig posters, comic sound effects, or graffiti-adjacent lettering. Its rough edges and jittery structure project urgency and attitude, leaning more playful than menacing while still carrying a gritty edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a distressed, hand-cut display voice with strong motion and texture, prioritizing attitude and visual noise over refinement. Its slant, fractured edges, and variable-feeling widths suggest a deliberate attempt to mimic improvised lettering and rough reproduction for thematic branding.
Because the outlines are highly irregular, tight tracking can cause forms to visually collide and become busy; it benefits from generous spacing and clear size hierarchy. Numerals and uppercase shapes read especially punchy, while small details (nicks and cutouts) become more prominent at larger sizes.
