A jagged display face built from extremely thin, angular strokes with irregular, splintered edges. Letterforms feel lightly constructed and skeletal, with frequent pointed terminals, abrupt notches, and uneven contours that mimic scratched ink or torn paper. Curves are faceted rather than smooth (notably in C, O, S), and many characters include small burrs and breaks that add texture. Proportions are generally compact with tight internal counters, while spacing and widths vary enough to keep the rhythm intentionally unstable.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and mood are the priority—titles, posters, game and streaming graphics, album covers, and themed event materials. It can work in brief text bursts for atmosphere, but its fine strokes and irregular edges favor larger sizes and strong contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is tense and eerie, with a sharp, prickly energy that reads as distressed and otherworldly. Its rough, thorn-like detailing gives it a ritualistic or horror-leaning flavor, suggesting warning signs, dark fantasy, or supernatural themes rather than everyday communication.
The design appears intended to simulate an intentionally distressed, scratch-built alphabet with thorny detailing, prioritizing attitude and texture over neutrality. It aims to deliver a distinctive, unsettling display voice that feels hand-rendered and slightly chaotic while remaining alphabetically recognizable.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a deliberate mismatch between straight segments and chiseled curves. Several forms lean toward simplified, carved silhouettes (e.g., angular U/V/W constructions and narrow verticals), which reinforces the brittle, hand-made character even in longer text lines.
