A sharp, angular display face built from narrow vertical stems and wedge-like terminals, with high-contrast slashes that cut through many strokes. Letterforms mix rigid, almost modular geometry with irregular breaks and notches, creating a fractured rhythm across words. Counters are small and often squared off, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and compressed, giving lines a tense, spiky texture. Numerals follow the same cut-and-carve logic, with hard corners and abrupt joins that emphasize the decorative incisions.
Best used in short headlines, logos, and title treatments where its carved details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for music artwork, genre entertainment (especially darker or action-oriented themes), and promotional graphics that benefit from an aggressive, stylized texture.
The overall tone is intense and theatrical, blending a blackletter-like severity with a more experimental, hacked-apart finish. It reads as bold, slightly menacing, and stylized—suited to dramatic, high-impact messaging rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended to evoke a cut-metal or carved-wood aesthetic by combining blackletter-inspired structure with deliberate fractures and diagonal incisions. It prioritizes distinctive texture and attitude over smooth readability, aiming for memorable, high-impact display typography.
Diagonal ‘scar’ strokes appear consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, acting like a unifying motif. Spacing and silhouettes vary noticeably between glyphs, adding a hand-forged, one-off quality that becomes more pronounced in longer sample text.
