A jagged, angular display face built from sharp wedges and curved slices, with strokes that look cut rather than drawn. Counters are often pinched or teardrop-like, and many forms show split terminals and abrupt, knife-edge endings. The rhythm is intentionally irregular: widths and internal shapes vary noticeably from letter to letter, while overall color remains fairly even at text sizes due to consistent stroke presence and compact spacing.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, game or tabletop titles, album art, and themed event flyers. It can work for punchy pull quotes or labels where a wild, handcrafted edge is desired, but the irregular construction makes it less appropriate for long reading passages or small UI text.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly menacing energy—part punk flyer, part fantasy prop typography. Its fractured geometry and blade-like terminals create a sense of motion and instability, giving text a theatrical, spellbook-meets-scrapbook attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate a rough, hand-cut or chiseled lettering style with exaggerated spikes and playful distortion. It favors expressive silhouettes and dramatic terminals to deliver an instantly recognizable, characterful voice in display typography.
Round letters (like O and Q) keep a strong circular silhouette but are interrupted by dramatic internal cuts, while diagonals and vertices are emphasized in letters like K, V, W, and X. Numerals echo the same faceted construction, with high-impact shapes that prioritize personality over uniformity.
