A heavy, compact display face with mostly geometric, rounded construction and simplified shapes. Letterforms are repeatedly interrupted by sharp diagonal cuts and wedge-like notches, creating a sliced, fractured texture that appears across both uppercase and lowercase. Strokes are generally monolinear in feel but broken by these irregular incisions, producing abrupt transitions and occasional pointed terminals. Counters tend to be open and generous for a novelty style, while overall spacing and proportions are deliberately uneven to heighten the disruptive rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, album/mixtape art, and expressive packaging where the shredded details can be appreciated. It works well when paired with a calm companion text face, and when given generous size and spacing to keep the slashed texture from overwhelming readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, with a deliberately sabotaged silhouette that reads as energetic and offbeat. The repeated slashes add a sense of motion and attitude—more skate-poster and zine than polished branding. It feels humorous and attention-grabbing, prioritizing character over restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, disruptive display voice by combining bold, friendly base shapes with aggressive diagonal “damage” marks. The goal seems to be creating a one-off, decorative texture that feels dynamic and unconventional while staying legible enough for prominent titles.
The diagonal cut motif is consistent across letters and numerals, giving the design a recognizable signature even when individual glyph widths vary. In text, the sliced details create a lively texture but can visually chatter at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs, where the interior cuts compete with counters.
