A heavy, compact sans with irregular, carved-out contours and sharp diagonal shears that make each glyph feel cut from a solid block. Counters and terminals are frequently interrupted by thin, scratch-like notches and swooshing voids, producing a distressed stencil effect rather than clean geometry. The outlines lean on broad curves and blunt joins, while the internal cut marks create a lively, broken rhythm that varies from letter to letter without losing overall consistency.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album art, game titles, and event flyers where the distressed cut details can be appreciated. It can also work for bold branding marks or packaging accents that want a handmade, energetic edge, but it is less suited to long-form text or small UI sizes due to the busy interior interruptions.
The font conveys a mischievous, scrappy energy—like hand-cut lettering or a marker-filled graphic with intentional nicks and scars. Its rough interruptions and angular slices give it a street-art and punk-flyer attitude, while the rounded mass keeps it friendly and cartoonish rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver an experimental, one-off display voice that looks physically cut, scratched, or torn into thick letterforms. The consistent system of diagonal shears and internal notches suggests a deliberate attempt to create motion and texture while keeping strong silhouette recognition for quick reading.
Uppercase forms read as bold poster shapes with dramatic internal scarring; lowercase keeps similar mass but introduces more fluid, loop-like cutouts in letters such as a, e, g, and o. Numerals follow the same carved treatment and remain legible, though the internal cuts become a defining visual motif at larger sizes.
