A sharp, angular display face built from faceted, shard-like strokes and wedge terminals. Letterforms lean on triangular counters, knife-point apexes, and abrupt joins that create a chiseled silhouette, with noticeable per-glyph width variation and a lively, irregular rhythm. Curves are rendered as tense arcs with pointed ends, and many characters use cut-ins and notches to suggest hand-carved construction. Numerals and lowercase follow the same spiky logic, keeping a consistent black mass while allowing individual forms to remain intentionally uneven.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, game titles, album art, event graphics, and branding moments that want a wild, hand-hewn edge. It performs well for short headlines, logo wordmarks, and thematic packaging where the spiky silhouettes can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is unruly and theatrical, with a sense of danger and playful menace. Its jagged forms evoke ritual marks, fantasy lettering, and comic-book aggression, projecting energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice through aggressive geometry and irregular rhythm, prioritizing silhouette and attitude over conventional readability. It aims to feel hand-made and carved, using consistent shard-like strokes across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals to maintain a cohesive, dramatic personality.
At text sizes the pointed terminals and tight interior cuts can visually fill in, so the design reads best when given room to breathe and when tracking is slightly opened. The distinctive shapes make it highly recognizable in short bursts but visually busy in long passages.
