A heavy, slanted display face built from angular, blackletter-like skeletons with aggressively jagged contours. Strokes look chiseled and torn, with irregular, sawtooth edges and blunt terminals that create a noisy texture across words. Forms are compact and sturdy, with tight internal counters and sharp joins; diagonals and pointed notches appear frequently, giving letters a carved, fractured silhouette. Spacing is moderately tight and the uneven outlines add strong visual vibration, especially in running text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album artwork, and event flyers where texture and attitude are assets. It can also work for horror or comic-goth title treatments, branding accents, and punchy callouts, but the busy edges make it less comfortable for long passages or small sizes.
The overall tone is loud and unruly—more rebellious than refined. Its rough, hacked-in edges and hard angles suggest a mischievous, combative energy that reads as punk, spooky, or comic-goth depending on context.
The design appears intended to fuse a blackletter-leaning structure with a deliberately rough, irregular finish to maximize attitude and texture. The slanted stance and fractured outlines emphasize motion and aggression, aiming for a distinctive, one-off display voice rather than neutrality or readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent slanted stance and similarly distressed edge treatment, helping lines of text feel cohesive despite the irregular outlines. Numerals match the same faceted, cut-out construction, keeping the set visually unified for short bursts of copy.
