A slanted, all-caps-forward display face built from angular, faceted outlines with open counters and frequent internal cutouts. Strokes are rendered as hollow shapes with irregular, zebra-like hatch texture inside, creating a high-contrast black/white rhythm that varies from letter to letter. Corners tend to be clipped and polygonal rather than smoothly rounded, while curves (like O and C) are approximated with many straight segments. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, with lively, uneven interior patterning that keeps a consistent outer silhouette while making each glyph feel hand-worked.
Best suited for display contexts where texture is an asset—posters, event flyers, album/cover art, brand marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes, especially when plenty of size and contrast are available to let the interior cutouts read clearly.
The overall tone is energetic and slightly rebellious, combining a sketchy, marker-scratched texture with a sharp, cut-out geometry. It reads as playful and crafty at a distance, but more aggressive and gritty up close due to the dense internal hatching and broken interiors.
The design appears intended to blend a stencil/cutout construction with a hand-drawn hatch fill, producing a distinctive “hollow textured” look that feels crafted rather than mechanical. The goal seems to be immediate visual character and motion, prioritizing graphic impact over quiet, long-form readability.
The distinctive internal striping can create visual noise at smaller sizes, while the italic slant and faceted construction help maintain recognizability in short bursts. Numerals follow the same angular, hollow-and-textured treatment, reinforcing the font’s graphic, poster-like consistency.
