A heavy, right-slanted display face built from chunky, rounded forms and sharply cut terminals. Many glyphs feature narrow internal slits and angled cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or exaggerated ink-trap carving, creating a consistent “sliced” texture across the set. Counters are often reduced or implied, with simplified interior space and bold, compact joins; overall letterforms lean toward soft curves paired with abrupt, geometric shears. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a controlled way, with substantial shape variation from glyph to glyph while maintaining a unified silhouette language.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and logo or wordmark work where the sliced detailing can stay clear. It also fits packaging and branding that aims for a retro, energetic, or sporty feel, especially when set large and with generous spacing.
The tone is loud, cheeky, and retro-leaning, with a high-impact presence that feels suited to attention-grabbing headlines. The carved interior streaks add motion and a slightly mischievous, custom-lettered attitude, giving text a dynamic, poster-like swagger.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that prioritizes silhouette, motion, and texture over conventional readability. Its signature internal cuts and simplified counters suggest a deliberate move toward a solid, graphic look meant to stand out in branding and editorial display settings.
At text sizes the interior cuts can visually merge, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. The numerals and punctuation inherit the same sliced detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, decorative texture across words and lines.
