A highly irregular, heavy display face with sharply tapered terminals and abrupt, blade-like joins that create a shredded silhouette. Strokes swing between thick, solid masses and thin needle points, producing a restless rhythm and uneven color across words. Counters are frequently reduced or collapsed into near-solids, while curves are lumpy and asymmetrical, giving forms a cut-and-torn, ink-smeared feel. The overall slant and shifting widths add to the unstable, improvised texture, with rough edges and inconsistent proportions that read as intentionally expressive rather than constructed.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as posters, title treatments, album/track artwork, game or film titles, and promotional headlines where a raw, threatening texture is desirable. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that need a deliberately distressed, handcrafted edge.
The font projects an aggressive, volatile tone—like scratched lettering, splattered ink, or hastily painted marks. Its spiky contours and dense black shapes feel ominous and theatrical, leaning toward horror and underground energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, expressive mark-making—somewhere between brush lettering, carved shapes, and torn-paper silhouettes—prioritizing attitude and texture over regularity. It emphasizes dramatic contrast, spurs, and collapsed interiors to create a bold, ominous display presence.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the distinctive silhouettes can be read; in longer passages the dense fills and extreme tapering can create dark spots and visual noise. Numerals and capitals echo the same cut-out, weapon-like terminals, reinforcing a cohesive, edgy voice.
