A jagged, shard-cut display face with sharply angled terminals and frequent wedge-like spikes that make strokes feel carved rather than smoothly drawn. Forms are narrow and forward-leaning with a restless, uneven rhythm; many counters are tight or partially broken, and curves are rendered as faceted segments. Stroke endings often taper to needle points, while joins can flare into abrupt, chiseled notches, creating a high-energy silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the sharp silhouettes can dominate—film/game titles, poster headlines, event graphics, and spooky seasonal promotions. It can also work for logo-like wordmarks or chapter headers, especially when paired with a calmer text face to handle longer reading.
The overall tone is menacing and volatile, like scratched lettering on a warning sign or a hastily cut title card. Its aggressive spikes and fractured contours suggest suspense, threat, and dark fantasy rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering an instantly unsettling display voice through razor-like tapers, fractured curves, and uneven hand-made energy. Its priority is atmosphere and impact over smooth readability, making it ideal for horror-leaning themes and dramatic, high-contrast compositions.
The font’s texture reads intentionally rough and irregular, with noticeable variation in angularity from glyph to glyph that enhances a handmade, slashed aesthetic. Numerals follow the same carved language, keeping the set visually consistent for titles that mix letters and numbers.
