A sharply angular display face built from jagged, wedge-like strokes and abrupt direction changes. Forms feel hand-cut and slightly unstable, with uneven proportions and varied character widths that create a restless rhythm across words. Terminals end in knife points, counters are small and irregular, and curves are largely replaced by faceted breaks, producing a fractured silhouette at both uppercase and lowercase sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, game or video titles, album/track art, and themed event flyers where texture and attitude matter more than smooth readability. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a deliberately jagged, hand-made edge, especially when set at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is loud, unruly, and tongue-in-cheek—more mischievous than threatening. Its spiky geometry and irregular cadence evoke a comic, “danger” energy that reads as intentionally unpolished and expressive, suitable for attention-grabbing lines rather than calm narrative text.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive “shard-like” display texture—prioritizing personality, sharp silhouettes, and irregular rhythm to create instant visual impact. It aims to feel handmade and eccentric while staying consistent enough to function across a full alphanumeric set.
The font maintains a consistent chiseled/triangular vocabulary across the set, but letterfit and internal shapes vary enough to keep the texture visibly uneven. The numerals and punctuation adopt the same pointed construction, helping titles and short phrases keep a cohesive, aggressive texture.
