A sharply angular, shard-like display face built from triangular wedges and tapered strokes. Counters are often reduced to slits or diamond shapes, with frequent use of pointed terminals and abrupt joins that create a fractured, hand-cut silhouette. Stroke widths vary within each glyph, producing a carved, brush-and-blade feel rather than a smooth geometric construction. Spacing and sidebearings read intentionally irregular, with lively, uneven rhythm and distinctive silhouettes from character to character.
Best used for short bursts of text: titles, logos, headers, and poster typography where its aggressive angles and irregular rhythm can be a feature. It also fits fantasy/horror or experimental themes in game interfaces, album art, and promotional graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels arcane and confrontational—like runes or talismans interpreted through a modern, punk sensibility. Its jagged energy and unpredictable details create a playful menace that suits dramatic, offbeat messaging more than calm communication.
The design appears intended to evoke a stylized runic or carved-letter aesthetic while staying Latin-alphabet readable. By emphasizing sharp wedges, asymmetry, and varied stroke behavior, it aims to deliver an instantly recognizable, high-impact voice for novelty display settings.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the internal cuts and pointed terminals have room to breathe; at small sizes the tight counters and acute angles can visually fill in. The punctuation shown adopts the same sharp language (notably the diamond-like dot), reinforcing the cohesive, emblematic look.
