This font is built from sharp, wedge-like strokes with faceted curves and frequent triangular cut-ins. Letterforms feel carved rather than drawn, with abrupt terminals, inward notches, and occasional diamond-shaped counters. The silhouette rhythm is highly irregular: widths and internal shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and many characters lean on asymmetry and exaggerated points to stay distinctive. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled logic, reading as solid black shapes with crisp negative-space bites rather than conventional pen-based construction.
Best for display settings where personality is the priority: posters, album or event titles, game UI headings, packaging, and logo-style wordmarks. It also fits genre-driven materials such as horror, dark fantasy, Halloween promos, or anything needing a chaotic, “cursed” aesthetic. Use sparingly for emphasis, pairing with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is theatrical and edgy, combining a primitive, rune-like flavor with a comic-book sense of mischief. Its aggressive points and carved contours suggest danger, spellcraft, or rebellion, while the intentionally odd proportions keep it from feeling solemn. The result is energetic, loud, and unmistakably decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character through a consistent language of sharp geometry, carved notches, and irregular width. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and thematic impact over typographic neutrality, aiming to feel handmade, ritualistic, and attention-grabbing in display use.
At text sizes the strong silhouettes help individual letters stand out, but the spiky details and uneven widths create a restless texture that dominates a page. The design relies on dramatic shapes and counters for recognition, making it better suited to short bursts than continuous reading.
