A slanted, very light display face built from broken, brush-like strokes with deliberate gaps and cut-out sections. The letterforms show an offset, echo-like secondary trace that reads as a shadowed double-stroke rather than a filled outline, creating a hollowed, notched interior rhythm. Terminals are sharp and slightly hooked, curves are loosely drawn, and straight stems often appear segmented, giving the alphabet a distressed, hand-rendered texture. Spacing is uneven in a natural way, and the silhouette stays readable while emphasizing fragmentation and motion.
This font performs best in short, attention-grabbing settings like headlines, posters, title cards, and cover art where the shadowed, cut-out texture can be appreciated. It also suits thematic work for horror, mystery, or underground music visuals, and can add character to logos or packaging when set at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone feels dark and kinetic, with a gritty, uneasy energy. The shadowed echo and discontinuous strokes suggest suspense and disorder, landing somewhere between vintage pulp atmosphere and modern glitchy distress.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-made, distressed italic with an integrated shadow echo, prioritizing mood and texture over neutrality. Its broken strokes and hollowed interruptions are used as a stylistic device to create motion and tension while keeping letterforms recognizable at display sizes.
In the text sample, the offset shadow effect becomes more pronounced at word scale, producing a vibrating edge that can visually merge in dense lines. The most consistent cue across the set is the repeated notching and stroke breaks, which create a distinctive shimmering rhythm even in otherwise simple shapes.
