A slanted, display-oriented letterform with a calligraphic, brush-like construction and sharp wedge terminals. Strokes are repeatedly interrupted by diagonal cutouts, creating a striped, broken texture across bowls, stems, and diagonals. Curves remain smooth but are visibly segmented, while counters stay mostly open, giving the face an airy silhouette despite the aggressive internal slicing. Overall spacing and widths feel uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing an irregular rhythm from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to posters, album or track art, event flyers, and bold headline treatments where the striped fragmentation can be appreciated. It can also work for brand marks and packaging that want an intentionally rough, kinetic edge. For longer passages or small UI text, the broken strokes may reduce clarity, so pairing with a simpler companion face is advisable.
The repeated diagonal slashes read as distortion or interference, giving the font a glitchy, rebellious tone. It feels fast and improvised, balancing menace and humor—more punk flyer than polished editorial. The texture adds motion and tension, making even simple words look animated and slightly unstable.
The design appears intended to merge an italic, brush-like skeleton with a deliberately disrupted interior texture, producing a one-off display voice. Its goal is impact and personality rather than neutrality—using diagonal cuts to suggest motion, interference, and handmade attitude.
The diagonal cut pattern is consistent enough to form a recognizable signature, yet varies in placement to keep the texture lively. At smaller sizes the internal striping risks filling in or turning into visual noise, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. Numerals follow the same fragmented logic, helping headings and short bursts of copy stay cohesive.
