A chunky display face built from heavy, compact forms with energetic, irregular contours. Many strokes end in sharp, chiseled corners while counters stay relatively open, creating a lively rhythm across words. The design is unified by repeated diagonal slash-like cut-ins and notches that read like breaks or “cracks” through the letterforms, giving a quasi-stenciled, distressed feel without becoming low-contrast or fuzzy. Curves are simplified and slightly squashed, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette.
Best suited to short display settings where its cut-and-notched texture can do the work: posters, event titles, playful branding, packaging callouts, and comic or game-adjacent graphics. It can also function as a logotype style when you want an intentionally irregular, hand-fashioned look with high visual impact.
The overall tone is mischievous and attention-seeking, with a comic, off-kilter swagger. The cut-in slashes add a rough, streety edge—more playful “wacky” than aggressive—suggesting motion, impact, or torn-paper energy. It feels bold and extroverted, designed to be read as a graphic statement rather than a quiet text voice.
This font appears designed to deliver instant personality through a consistent system of slashes and angular nicks, making familiar letterforms feel hand-carved and slightly chaotic. The goal is likely a bold, decorative voice that prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, creating memorable headings and graphic moments.
The distinctive internal slashes become a strong texture when set in lines, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably affect the patterning. Numerals match the same chiseled, irregular language, helping headlines and short callouts stay visually consistent.
