An angular, faceted display face built from sharp wedges and knife-like strokes, with an intentionally uneven rhythm. Stems and diagonals taper unpredictably, corners break into pointed terminals, and many forms lean on geometric, diamond-like counters (notably in round letters). Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow, tall characters alongside wider, more open ones, creating a deliberately unsettled texture. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase with simplified, chiseled construction and occasional flag-like arms and hooked joins, emphasizing a hand-cut, improvised geometry rather than smooth curves.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headline typography, logotypes, game or fantasy UI, and packaging where a distinctive, jagged voice is desired. It performs well for themed titles and punchy pull quotes, but the irregular construction and variable widths make it less appropriate for long-form reading or dense text blocks.
The overall tone feels eccentric and ritualistic—part rune, part cut-paper collage—projecting a playful sense of mystery. Its jagged silhouettes and uneven spacing read as mischievous and slightly chaotic, suitable for designs that want to look handmade, oddball, or cryptic without becoming illegible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-cut or chiseled lettering through faceted strokes and irregular, expressive geometry. By prioritizing distinctive silhouettes over typographic neutrality, it aims to create a one-off decorative presence that instantly signals character and atmosphere.
Curves are largely implied through straight segments, producing a consistently polygonal voice across letters and numerals. Counters often resolve into diamonds or skewed polygons, and several glyphs use exaggerated notches or spur-like terminals that stand out in word shapes. The texture is high-impact and benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes where the sharp detailing remains clear.
