A very heavy, right-leaning display sans with sharply cut terminals and frequent wedge-like points. Strokes stay largely monoline with abrupt, angular joins, producing a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Many letters feature tapered interior notches and dagger-like descenders, while counters are tight and often squared or pinched into teardrop shapes. Overall spacing feels compact and punchy, with lively irregularity from the exaggerated cuts and points.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as logos, posters, packaging callouts, game or film titles, and album/merch graphics where a sharp, stylized voice is desirable. It performs strongest at medium to large sizes where the angular cuts and notches remain clear and contribute to the overall texture.
The font conveys a dramatic, high-energy tone with an edgy, weaponized feel. Its sharp terminals and aggressive rhythm suggest fantasy and action aesthetics, reading as bold, confrontational, and stylized rather than neutral or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, stylized sans with a distinctive spiked silhouette, maximizing impact through sharp terminals, compact counters, and a consistent forward slant. It aims to evoke genre-driven display typography—more expressive than utilitarian—while maintaining readable letterforms for headline-length text.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent slanted stance and a common vocabulary of pointed terminals, giving the set a cohesive, emblem-like look. Numerals follow the same angular construction with distinctive cuts that help them match headline settings. The design prioritizes silhouette impact, so fine details can visually merge at smaller sizes.
