A tightly condensed display face built from heavy vertical stems whose edges are aggressively serrated, giving each stroke a saw-tooth silhouette. Forms are predominantly upright with a strong vertical rhythm, while bowls and counters appear irregular and partially eaten away, creating uneven interior spaces. The overall construction reads as a blackletter-inspired skeleton pushed into a rough, cutout texture, with inconsistent edge noise and occasional protrusions that make curves feel broken and faceted. Spacing looks tight and the texture is dense, prioritizing impact over smooth contours.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album artwork, festival or club flyers, game/film title treatments, and dramatic headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a rough, spined texture is desirable, but the dense, jagged detailing makes it less appropriate for long passages of small body text.
The font projects a confrontational, off-kilter energy—part punk flyer, part horror title card—where the spines and ragged contours feel sharp and unruly. Its distressed bite and cramped darkness give it a gritty, underground tone that leans menacing and playful at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, serrated texture that evokes torn paper, thorns, or corroded ink while maintaining a recognizable, vertically driven letter structure. It emphasizes attitude and atmosphere—creating a dark, abrasive display voice rather than typographic neutrality.
At text sizes the serrations merge into a strong overall texture, while at larger sizes the irregular edges and uneven counters become the defining feature. The glyph set shows deliberate inconsistency in edge detail, reinforcing a handcrafted/eroded effect rather than a clean geometric system.
