A hand-drawn print face with sharply angular construction and frequent spear-like terminals. Strokes appear brush- or pen-like with tapered entries and exits, producing a slightly calligraphic modulation while staying mostly monoline in feel. Letterforms are narrow and vertical, with irregular widths and a lively baseline rhythm; corners are often pinched into wedges and counters tend to be small and asymmetrical. The overall texture is energetic and slightly abrasive, with purposeful inconsistencies that read as made-by-hand rather than mechanically uniform.
This font is well-suited to display applications such as posters, title cards, game and film graphics, book covers, album art, and themed branding where a hand-inked, ominous voice is desirable. It works best in short bursts—headlines, logos, and pull quotes—rather than long passages, where the intentionally irregular rhythm can become tiring.
The tone is dark, intense, and theatrical, evoking occult, fantasy, or horror-adjacent lettering. Its spiky silhouettes and scratchy motion give it an urgent, rebellious attitude that feels more ritualistic and cinematic than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to capture a handcrafted, rune-like energy using angular geometry, sharp terminals, and controlled irregularity. It aims to deliver immediate atmosphere and personality, trading strict typographic refinement for expressive impact and a distinctly drawn texture.
Capitals are especially expressive, with exaggerated diagonals and pointed joins that create strong zig-zag patterns in words. Numerals keep the same knife-edged logic, with simplified, emblem-like shapes that prioritize character over neutrality; readability holds best at display sizes where the terminals and ink-like tapering can be seen clearly.
