A sharply angular, faceted display face built from chiseled straight strokes and abrupt corners. Terminals often end in wedge-like cuts, creating a fragmented silhouette with a consistent forward-leaning rhythm across letters. Counters are tight and sometimes polygonal, and the overall construction feels modular, with occasional asymmetric joins that make characters look carved or torn. The texture in words is spiky and high-contrast in silhouette, favoring impact and pattern over smooth readability at small sizes.
Best used as a display font for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event headlines, title cards, logos, and merchandise graphics. It can also work well for genre signaling in entertainment contexts—especially gaming, music, or sci‑fi/fantasy packaging—where a harsh, stylized voice is desirable. Larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity while showcasing the faceted texture.
The tone reads aggressive and offbeat, with a hacked-together, mechanical energy. Its jagged geometry suggests rebellion and danger—suited to loud, confrontational messaging rather than polite typography. The forward slant and sharp terminals add urgency and motion, giving the face a frantic, game-like intensity.
The design appears intended to transform basic Latin shapes into a distinctive, blade-like pattern that feels hand-cut or mechanically notched. Rather than aiming for neutrality, it prioritizes a memorable texture and a confrontational slant, delivering a stylized voice for expressive branding and title typography.
In the sample text, the dense black shapes create a strong horizontal banding, and the irregular facets produce a distinctive rhythm that becomes more pronounced in longer lines. The letterforms remain broadly recognizable, but the spikiness and compressed spacing can make extended reading feel busy; it works best when the angular texture is the point.
