A sharply angular, jagged display face built from heavy, wedge-like strokes that appear torn and sliced by diagonal cuts. Letterforms lean strongly forward and show irregular, fractured counters and spur-like terminals, creating a restless rhythm across words. Despite the deliberate distortion, the alphabet holds a consistent slashed motif and maintains clear blocky massing, with lowercase forms reading close to small caps in overall presence.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its fractured shapes can read as intentional texture: posters, striking headlines, event flyers, game titles, and logo/wordmark exploration. It also fits short, high-impact phrases on merchandise or cover art, while extended body text will feel intentionally noisy and demanding.
The overall tone is intense and confrontational, with a hacked-up, kinetic energy that feels like speed, impact, and disruption. Its fragmented silhouettes suggest noise, motion, and a rebellious, underground attitude.
The design appears intended to push a familiar blackletter-inspired structure into a more abrasive, deconstructed form, using repeated diagonal slashes to imply motion and damage. It prioritizes attitude and texture over smooth readability, aiming for a memorable, one-off visual signature.
The distinctive diagonal “gash” details recur across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong texture in paragraphs but reducing clarity at smaller sizes. Spacing appears visually tight in running text, and the sharp internal breaks can create flicker-like patterns, especially on diagonals and multi-stroke shapes.
