A sharp, angular display face built from faceted, wedge-like strokes with pointed terminals and frequent internal counters cut as triangles or diamonds. The letterforms lean on irregular geometry—uneven widths, broken-looking joins, and asymmetrical silhouettes—while maintaining a consistent all-over spikiness. Curves are largely replaced by hard corners and notches, producing a chiseled, hand-cut rhythm; round forms like O are rendered as rotated diamond shapes. The overall texture is bold and graphic, with abrupt stroke transitions and a deliberately inconsistent, cutout-like construction across the set.
This face works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, event flyers, and stylized branding moments. It fits especially well in entertainment contexts—games, comics, or genre graphics—where an intentionally irregular, spiky texture can carry mood. For usability, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the cut-in counters and sharp joins remain clear.
The font projects a wacky, unruly energy—part comic menace, part handmade artifact. Its shard-like shapes and quirky proportions give it an impish, slightly aggressive tone that reads as playful rather than formal. The overall impression is loud, attention-seeking, and theatrical, suited to moments where legibility can be traded for character.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut, jagged lettering with an intentionally unpredictable rhythm, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette over smooth readability. By replacing curves with facets and emphasizing pointed terminals, it aims to create a dramatic, unconventional display voice that stands apart from standard decorative styles.
Caps and lowercase share a similar angular vocabulary, so case contrast is more about size and structure than softness or roundness. The numeral set follows the same faceted logic, keeping the texture consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings.
