A compact, slanted display face with angular, faceted strokes and chiseled terminals that give each character a slightly cut-paper silhouette. The outlines are mostly monolinear with minimal modulation, but the joins are sharp and often asymmetric, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Many forms use flattened corners and small wedge-like feet or caps, with narrow internal counters and compressed proportions that keep words tight and vertical. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a purposely uneven, handcrafted texture in lines of text.
Best suited for short display settings where its angular texture can read as character rather than noise—posters, headlines, event promotions, album/track artwork, game titles, and punchy packaging callouts. It can work in brief paragraphs at large sizes, but its irregular rhythm and tight counters suggest using generous size and leading for maximum clarity.
The tone is mischievous and off-kilter—more haunted-carnival than formal gothic—mixing blackletter echoes with a cartoonish, do-it-yourself energy. Its consistent slant and jagged detailing make it feel animated and slightly rebellious, like lettering cut with a knife rather than drawn with a pen.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, attention-grabbing voice by combining condensed, slanted proportions with deliberately jagged, chiseled detailing. It prioritizes distinctive texture and attitude over typographic neutrality, aiming for memorable branding and expressive titling.
Uppercase shapes stay relatively upright and geometric while lowercase forms lean more expressive, producing a deliberate case contrast in personality. Numerals are similarly faceted and narrow, matching the spiky terminal language and maintaining the same brisk, angled momentum in running text.
