This typeface features sharply cut, jagged letterforms with a strong forward slant and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions that mimic a fast, pressure-driven pen. Strokes terminate in blade-like points and torn-looking notches, producing irregular silhouettes and a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and often pinched, with many forms built from angular joins rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing and widths feel inconsistent by design, reinforcing an intentionally unruly, hand-hewn texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, title cards, cover art, event promos, and branding moments that benefit from a dark or extreme tone. It can work well for gaming, horror, fantasy, or metal-adjacent visuals where texture and attitude matter more than sustained readability.
The font conveys a dark, high-energy attitude—more feral than refined—suggesting menace, speed, and theatrical intensity. Its spiky cuts and restless movement evoke horror and fantasy aesthetics, with a punk-metal edge that reads as confrontational and expressive rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, expressive display voice that combines calligraphic slant with deliberately irregular, blade-cut contours. Its primary goal seems to be creating a striking, edgy texture and an instantly recognizable silhouette in large, attention-grabbing settings.
In the sample text, the dense black shapes and aggressive terminals create a strong pattern on the page, but fine inner details and tight counters can blur at small sizes or in long passages. It performs best when given room to breathe, with generous tracking or larger point sizes to preserve the distinctive cut-in details.
