A sharply angular display face built from faceted, wedge-like strokes with frequent knife points and notched joins. The letterforms feel carved rather than drawn, mixing triangular counters with abrupt terminals and occasional slit-like verticals, creating an irregular rhythm while staying visually consistent. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of hard diagonals and broken contours; bowls and apertures are often formed as cut-in triangles. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, and the figures echo the same diamond-and-spike geometry for a cohesive, emblematic look.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where shape and atmosphere matter most: game and film titles, horror/fantasy posters, album covers, themed packaging, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for logos or badges when set large, where the carved details and irregular widths are allowed to read clearly.
The overall tone is tense and theatrical, with a sinister, ritualistic energy. Its spiked silhouettes and chiseled texture suggest danger, fantasy, and a deliberately “wacky” unpredictability—more like symbols or talismans than everyday type.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, decorative voice through aggressive geometry—combining carved, rune-like motifs with a playful irregularity to create an instantly recognizable display texture.
Distinctive diamond shapes appear in letters like O and in several numerals, and the punctuation is rendered with the same sharp, shard-like logic. In paragraph-like settings the texture becomes very dark and busy, emphasizing pattern over smooth reading flow.
