A sharp, angular sans with a hand-drawn, pen-like construction. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and small wedges, giving many letters a slightly slashed, blade-like finish. Geometry alternates between straight stems and subtly curved sweeps, with occasional faceted, almost polygonal counters (notably in characters like O/Q and some numerals). Overall rhythm is intentionally uneven and lively, with narrow letter bodies, compact bowls, and a consistently pointy silhouette that keeps the texture crisp and energetic.
Best suited for short display settings where the spiky terminals and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—posters, titles, game UI headings, book or film covers, and brand marks for alternative or fantasy-leaning projects. It can also work for pull quotes or menu headers when a sharp, unconventional tone is desired.
The font reads as edgy and atmospheric, balancing a modern, minimalist skeleton with a rough, scratchy expressiveness. Its spiky terminals and rune-like forms suggest fantasy, goth, or thriller moods without becoming ornate or decorative in a classical sense. The result feels quirky and slightly menacing, suited to dramatic or playful “dark” themes.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, angular display voice that feels hand-rendered and slightly arcane, while still staying within a sans framework. The emphasis appears to be on creating memorable silhouettes and a dramatic texture rather than uniform, continuous text readability.
Uppercase forms lean toward condensed, vertical constructions, while lowercase introduces more distinctive idiosyncrasies (e.g., a sharp, hooked f and narrow, angular a/e shapes). Numerals are stylized and asymmetric, reinforcing the handmade character and making the set feel more like a display alphabet than a neutral text face.
