A sharp, jagged display face built from wedge-like strokes and abrupt angles, with pronounced pointed terminals throughout. Stems and diagonals often flare and taper like a quick brush or knife-cut mark, creating medium contrast and an energetic, slightly right-leaning rhythm. Bowls and counters skew toward faceted, diamond-like shapes rather than smooth curves, and spacing feels irregular in a deliberate, hand-made way. The overall texture is bold and high-impact, with glyph widths varying noticeably to enhance the erratic cadence in words.
Well suited to horror and dark-fantasy titling, game and film key art, album covers, posters, and attention-grabbing headers where a threatening, spiked texture is desired. It works especially well for short phrases, logos, and display lines rather than long-form reading.
The letterforms project a tense, hostile energy—more carved and slashed than written—evoking horror title cards, dark fantasy artifacts, and gritty underground graphics. Its aggressive points and restless movement give text a sinister, ritual-like tone that reads as loud, dramatic, and confrontational.
The design appears intended to mimic aggressive hand-cut or brush-slashed lettering, prioritizing mood and visual impact over smooth regularity. Its faceted construction and pointed terminals are tuned to deliver an eerie, hostile presence in display settings.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the internal facets and sharp joins remain distinct; at small sizes the angular counters and tight joins can visually fill in. The numeral set matches the same blade-cut language, keeping the overall voice consistent across headings and short bursts of copy.
