A sharply angular display face built from wedge-shaped strokes and faceted, polygonal counters. Terminals taper into points, producing a cut-paper/knife-edge feel with frequent triangular notches and abrupt direction changes. The alphabet mixes open and closed constructions (including diamond-like bowls) and shows intentionally irregular outlines and widths, creating a jittery rhythm while keeping a consistent sharp geometry. Lowercase forms echo the same chiseled language, with simplified, sometimes rune-like silhouettes and minimal curvature.
Best suited to short display settings where character is the priority—posters, game and film titles, haunted attraction or Halloween materials, album/mixtape covers, and punchy headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want an aggressive, jagged signature, but is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is playful but sinister, with a hand-made, ritualistic energy that reads as chaotic, mischievous, and slightly aggressive. Its spiky silhouettes and uneven cadence suggest danger and unpredictability, leaning into a campy horror/fantasy mood rather than refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate a hand-cut, rune-like aesthetic through hard angles, pointed terminals, and intentionally irregular proportions. The goal is maximum personality and atmosphere, prioritizing a dramatic, spiky silhouette and a rough-hewn texture over conventional smoothness or strict uniformity.
Legibility is strongly style-dependent: distinctive shapes and extreme terminals make it attention-grabbing at larger sizes but potentially noisy in dense paragraphs. The design relies on negative-space carving and pointed joins, so spacing and texture will feel deliberately uneven, especially across mixed case and numerals.
