A condensed, monoline display face built from angular, segmented strokes and sharp corners. Terminals often flare into small wedge-like fins, creating a broken-serif effect and an intentionally uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are handled as faceted arcs rather than smooth rounds, and counters tend to be rectangular or irregularly polygonal. The overall texture is high-contrast in silhouette (despite uniform stroke), with frequent notches, hooks, and asymmetric joins that give each glyph a slightly bespoke, cut-and-assembled feel.
Best suited to short display settings where its jagged texture can be appreciated—posters, title treatments, game or tabletop-themed graphics, album/track artwork, and expressive packaging. It can work well for logotypes when paired with a calmer supporting text face and given generous tracking to reduce visual chatter.
The tone is playful but eerie—evoking occult signage, fantasy props, or a mischievous horror title card. Its irregular details and spiky terminals read as intentionally “wrong” in a way that feels animated and theatrical rather than purely distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice through angular construction and quirky terminal flourishes, prioritizing personality over typographic neutrality. Its condensed stance and faceted curves suggest an aim to feel hand-built and slightly uncanny while remaining readable at headline sizes.
Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally inconsistent to preserve a jittery cadence in words; this enhances character in headlines but can make longer passages look busy. Numerals and uppercase carry the strongest decorative personality, with many forms built from boxy frameworks and abrupt direction changes.
