A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, jagged contours and noticeably uneven stroke rhythm. Many shapes feel carved or torn, with diagonal cuts and slash-like notches running through the counters and stems, creating a distressed cutout effect. Curves are blunted and flattened, terminals are abrupt, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a hand-cut, collage-like texture. The numerals and capitals maintain strong silhouette weight, while internal breaks and nicks add contrast and motion.
Best suited to short, large settings where its aggressive texture and quirky shapes can be appreciated—posters, flyers, event promotions, bold packaging, and entertainment or music-related graphics. It can also work for punchy captions or badges when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is mischievous and rowdy, leaning into a deliberately messy, attention-grabbing personality. Its slashed interiors and off-kilter geometry suggest humor, irreverence, and a DIY attitude—more spectacle than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, novelty display look by combining oversized weight with intentionally irregular outlines and repeated slash-like incisions. The aim is to create a distinctive, instantly recognizable texture that feels hand-made and energetic rather than typographically neutral.
In longer text the repeated diagonal scarring becomes a dominant pattern, reading almost like scratches or gouges across the letterforms. The bold mass keeps it legible at headline sizes, but the busy internal cuts can visually fill in at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
