The design is built from angular, wedge-like strokes with frequent pointed terminals, triangular counters, and diamond-shaped interior spaces. Many forms lean into faceted geometry: strokes taper into blades, joins create abrupt zigzags, and curves (where present) feel carved rather than smooth. Proportions are inconsistent by intent, with some characters widening or narrowing dramatically and a generally jagged baseline/texture in running text, creating a strong, graphic pattern more than an even typographic color.
Best suited for display typography where personality is the main goal: posters, event graphics, album or game titles, and themed packaging. It can work well for short headlines, logos, or chapter/title treatments that benefit from a jagged, high-energy texture. For longer passages or small sizes, the angular details and irregular rhythm are likely to reduce legibility, so pairing with a simpler companion text face would be advisable.
This font gives off an edgy, mischievous energy, with a playful sense of danger and theatricality. Its sharp, spiked silhouettes and irregular rhythm feel adventurous and a bit chaotic, evoking handmade mark-making and stylized “rune-like” lettering. Overall it reads as bold, attention-seeking, and intentionally unconventional rather than neutral or refined.
The letterforms appear designed to prioritize a distinctive silhouette and an aggressive, stylized texture over conventional readability. The repeated use of sharp points, triangular cut-ins, and diamond counters suggests an intention to create a cohesive, emblematic look that feels hand-cut or carved. In text, the irregular widths and spiky shapes maintain a consistent visual voice meant to be instantly recognizable at display sizes.
The uppercase and lowercase sets share the same sharp, fractured construction, and numerals follow the same diamond-and-wedge logic for consistency. Punctuation and symbols (e.g., the star-like asterisk and pointed dot forms) continue the spiky motif, reinforcing the font’s highly graphic, decorative character.
