A sharply angular display face built from wedge and shard-like strokes, with frequent knife points, notches, and sudden tapers. Letterforms lean on triangular counters and broken-looking joins, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm and uneven texture across words. Strokes vary in length and terminal treatment, and many glyphs feel carved rather than drawn, giving the alphabet a rough, hand-cut silhouette. The lowercase set is compact with simplified structures, while capitals and numerals emphasize dramatic diagonals and spurs for maximum bite.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and short phrases where the jagged silhouette can read as a texture and mood-setter. It works well for horror or Halloween themes, fantasy or dungeon-style game UI/title screens, punk/metal-inspired graphics, and event posters that benefit from an intentionally unruly voice.
The overall tone is mischievous and menacing at once—like a playful “danger” sign rendered with theatrical sharpness. Its spiky cadence and uneven geometry suggest incantation, fantasy, or punk energy, prioritizing attitude over calm readability.
This font appears designed to deliver immediate impact through aggressive angularity and intentional irregularity, evoking a carved or runic feel while remaining alphabetic. The design intent favors expressive silhouettes, surprise, and atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
Spacing and internal shapes are deliberately inconsistent, which adds character in short bursts but can make longer passages feel busy. Distinctive pointed punctuation and diamond-like counters reinforce the aggressive, rune-adjacent aesthetic.
