A sharply angular display face built from wedge-like strokes and knife-point terminals. The letterforms favor triangular counters, split joints, and abrupt direction changes, creating a fractured rhythm that reads like carved or torn shapes rather than written strokes. Curves are rare and treated as faceted arcs; many glyphs lean on asymmetry and irregular interior apertures to keep the texture lively. Capitals are dominant and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same shard-like construction with narrower, more upright silhouettes and simple, pointed i/j dots.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, poster headlines, game logos, and album/merch graphics. Use it in larger sizes and with generous spacing when readability matters, letting the jagged silhouettes and triangular counters stay crisp.
The overall tone feels ominous and arcane, with a carved-symbol quality that suggests runes, sigils, and ritual markings. Its aggressive points and broken edges create tension and unease, pushing the voice toward dark fantasy and horror rather than playful novelty.
This design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, weapon-sharp aesthetic—like letters carved into stone or cut from metal—while maintaining consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and figures. The goal is strong thematic atmosphere and immediate recognizability over neutral text performance.
The numerals follow the same angular logic, with strong diagonals and diamond-like counters that maintain stylistic continuity. In text samples the dense, spiky texture is highly distinctive but visually busy, making it best used at larger sizes where the sharp apertures and internal shapes can be read cleanly.
