A sharply angular, knife-edged display face built from wedge strokes and pointed terminals. Letterforms lean on triangular counters, abrupt direction changes, and uneven stroke flare, creating a hand-cut, blade-like rhythm rather than smooth curves. Proportions are intentionally irregular, with frequent overhangs and exaggerated diagonals; spacing and widths feel expressive and inconsistent in a controlled way. The lowercase is compact and simplified, while capitals and numerals are more emblematic, with many glyphs reducing to bold, graphic silhouettes.
Best used for short display settings where its jagged silhouettes can read clearly: posters, titles, logotypes, album art, event flyers, and game/genre branding. It can work well as a secondary accent face for headings or pull quotes when paired with a neutral text font.
The overall tone is aggressive and playful at once—like scratched markings, graffiti slashes, or stylized runes. Its spiky geometry and uneven cadence read as energetic, rebellious, and slightly menacing, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than calm text setting.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful mark-making and angular carving, prioritizing graphic impact and attitude over conventional readability. It aims to create a distinctive, one-off voice through sharp geometry, irregular widths, and emblem-like capitals.
At small sizes, many characters approach abstract symbols due to the minimal interior detail and sharp joins, so clarity depends heavily on size and generous tracking. The strongest impression comes from the consistent use of pointed terminals, triangular counters, and a brisk, cut-paper/brush-swipe texture across the set.
