A heavy, highly stylized display face built from compact blackletter-like structures that are repeatedly broken by sharp, horizontal “shard” cuts. Strokes appear segmented and notched, creating a serrated texture along many verticals and joins, while terminals often end in wedge-like points. The forms are visibly slanted and uneven in internal rhythm, with letter widths that swing noticeably from narrow to extended, producing a restless, irregular silhouette. Counters are small and angular, and the overall color on the page is dense, with frequent micro-gaps from the slashes that keep the texture lively rather than solid.
Best suited to high-impact display settings where texture and attitude are the primary goal—posters, album/track artwork, title screens, festival or club flyers, and brand marks that want a gritty, disruptive voice. Use generous tracking and ample size to preserve legibility and let the serrated detailing read cleanly.
The font projects a loud, disruptive attitude—like distressed signage or a corrupted print signal. Its spiky fragmentation and dark mass read as confrontational and energetic, leaning toward underground, metal/punk, and tech-noise aesthetics rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to fuse a gothic/blackletter backbone with a deliberate glitch or shredding treatment, creating motion and distortion through repeated horizontal slicing. The goal seems to be maximum personality and visual noise while keeping letterforms just coherent enough for punchy display reading.
At text sizes the repeated horizontal cuts create a strong vibration effect, so the most distinctive character comes through in headlines and short lines. The blackletter-inspired skeleton provides recognizability, but the aggressive slicing can reduce clarity in tightly set passages or small applications.
