A spiky, irregular display face built from narrow, wedge-like strokes and abrupt terminals that feel cut or scratched rather than drawn. Letterforms are angular and asymmetric, with frequent tapering, thin hairline joins, and occasional off-kilter counters that create a deliberately unstable rhythm. The silhouette is dominated by sharp points and slanted joins; curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted, broken geometry. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a raw, collage-like texture across a line of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, title treatments, chapter openers, and packaging where an unsettling, offbeat personality is desired. It can also work for event promos, album/playlist artwork, or game-related graphics when used in large sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, combining a playful wobble with a scratchy, horror-adjacent edge. Its quirky inconsistencies and knife-point terminals evoke handmade signage, eerie title cards, and experimental zines rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to foreground irregularity and tension: a high-drama, angular construction that reads like hand-cut letters assembled into a cohesive alphabet. Its purpose is expressive display—prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality or extended readability.
In longer settings the lively outlines create strong texture and sparkle, but the thin joins and erratic construction make it most convincing at larger sizes where its cut-paper details are clear. Numerals and punctuation follow the same jagged logic, contributing to a consistent, intentionally rough voice.
