A jagged, angular display face built from sharp wedges and faceted strokes, with abrupt terminals and irregular joins that feel hand-cut rather than drawn with smooth curves. Letterforms lean on broken diagonals, pointed counters, and uneven stroke widths that shift within a glyph, creating a lively, unstable rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably across the set—some characters are narrow and blade-like while others are wider and more geometric—yet the consistent spiky silhouette keeps the alphabet cohesive. Numerals echo the same chiseled construction, with hard corners and compressed, energetic shapes.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, cover art, title screens, and branding moments that want an offbeat, edgy personality. It can work for brief slogans or punchy pull quotes, but its busy texture makes long-form reading feel intentionally chaotic.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, like a comic-horror prop or DIY punk poster lettering. Its fractured geometry and unpredictable cadence read as intentionally oddball, giving headlines a wacky, attention-grabbing edge.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, cut-paper or carved-sign lettering through hard angles, uneven stroke behavior, and intentionally inconsistent proportions. It prioritizes character and impact over neutrality, aiming to make text feel animated, quirky, and a little rebellious.
The font’s strong, high-contrast black shapes and sharp internal angles create dense texture in paragraphs, where the irregular spacing and varying widths become a prominent part of the visual voice. Distinctive diamond-like constructions appear in several glyphs, reinforcing a carved, rune-adjacent feel without becoming strictly historical.
