A rounded, soft-edged sans with a bold silhouette that’s interrupted by irregular horizontal cutouts, creating a striped, distressed texture through every glyph. The letterforms keep simple, friendly geometry—open bowls, smooth curves, and even stroke presence—while the internal banding varies in thickness and spacing, giving each character a slightly different rhythm. Counters remain generally clear, but the repeated breaks introduce a lively flicker that’s more about surface pattern than strict typographic continuity.
Best suited to short display settings where the striped texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, social graphics, and event or music-related promo work. It can work for larger blocks of text in a pinch, but the cutout banding is most effective at larger sizes and with strong contrast.
The horizontal “scanline” texture reads as glitchy and playful, with a retro screen-print or VHS-like flavor. It feels mischievous and energetic rather than formal, turning otherwise straightforward shapes into something more kinetic and attention-grabbing.
Designed to take a friendly rounded base and inject visual noise through horizontal breaks, producing a distinctive decorative texture without abandoning legibility. The goal appears to be instant personality and motion-like surface detail for attention-first typography.
The texture is consistent as a concept but intentionally inconsistent in execution, which enhances the irregular, wacky character. Numerals and uppercase forms carry the same banded treatment, helping the style hold together across common display needs.
