A very heavy, blackletter-leaning display face with exaggerated verticals and aggressively irregular, serrated edges. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick main bodies and sharply carved interior counters that create a flickering, cut-out look. Terminals and joins break into wave-like notches, giving each letter a distressed, almost vibrating silhouette while keeping an upright, compact structure. The lowercase echoes the same texture and weight, and the numerals maintain the same sawtooth rhythm for a cohesive, highly decorative set.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as posters, album/track titles, merchandise graphics, and bold editorial headlines where the jagged texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can also work for themed titles in horror, dark fantasy, or alternative nightlife branding when set at generous sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is unruly and theatrical, blending old-world gothic cues with a warped, wavy distortion. It reads as mischievous and slightly menacing—more punk-poster energy than traditional calligraphy—making it feel loud, strange, and intentionally off-kilter.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter structure with deliberate distortion and edge erosion, creating a one-off display voice that feels chaotic and attention-grabbing. Its consistent serration and heavy weight suggest it was drawn to deliver maximum texture and attitude in title settings rather than continuous reading.
Because the outer contour is so active and the counters are tightly pinched, readability drops quickly as sizes get smaller or when used in long passages. The texture is a dominant feature: even short words create a strong, noisy color on the line.
