A sharply angular display face built from wedge-like strokes and shard-shaped counters. Letterforms lean on triangles, knife points, and abrupt cut-ins rather than smooth curves, creating a fractured silhouette and an irregular rhythm across the line. Strokes flare and taper unpredictably, with tight apertures and occasional diamond-like interior voids that read as punched cutouts. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, emphasizing a hand-cut, broken-geometry look that stays visually consistent through repeated sharp terminals and notched joins.
Best suited to large-size applications where the sharp silhouettes can read as deliberate texture: posters, title cards, packaging accents, event flyers, and entertainment branding. It works well for horror, punk/metal, fantasy, and arcade or indie-game contexts, especially in short headlines or logo-style lockups rather than long text.
The overall tone is mischievous and aggressive at the same time—like torn paper, scratched paint, or stylized weapon-edge lettering. It feels energetic, rebellious, and intentionally unruly, aiming for surprise and personality over calm readability.
The design appears intended as an expressive, high-impact novelty display face that prioritizes a distinctive, jagged voice. Its irregular proportions and blade-like terminals suggest a goal of creating visual tension and attitude, delivering a dramatic texture quickly in headlines and themed typography.
The all-caps and lowercase share a similar construction language, so case mixing keeps the same spiked texture rather than creating a softer secondary voice. Numerals and punctuation follow the same jagged motif, helping the font maintain a cohesive, graphic color when set in short phrases.
