A sharply angular display face built from tapered, knife-like strokes and triangular wedges. Forms feel carved and faceted rather than drawn, with abrupt direction changes, pointed terminals, and occasional internal cutouts that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of hard corners; counters are small and sometimes reduced to slits or diamond-shaped openings. Spacing and widths are uneven by design, producing a restless rhythm and a hand-hewn, improvised consistency across the set.
Best suited to short display settings where the jagged silhouettes can be read as texture: horror and Halloween headlines, game titles and UI labels, poster graphics, and themed packaging. It works particularly well when ample tracking and larger sizes are available to preserve the sharp interior shapes and tight counters.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking scratched markings, occult signage, and horror-title lettering. Its aggressive spikes and irregular cadence read as tense and unstable, balancing menace with a playful, stylized camp sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate thematic impact through aggressive, carved geometry and irregular rhythm, prioritizing atmosphere and character over neutral readability. It aims to look like stylized markings—part rune, part graffiti—while remaining legible enough for dramatic headlines.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, so mixed-case text retains a uniform, emblematic texture rather than a conventional text hierarchy. The numerals and punctuation match the same shard-like geometry, keeping the voice consistent in headings and short phrases.
