A sharply angular display face built from jagged, wedge-like strokes with frequent knife-point terminals and irregular internal counters. The letters lean and feel hand-cut, with inconsistent stroke lengths and shifting widths that create a restless rhythm across a line. Curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted bends and abrupt direction changes, producing silhouettes that read more like torn paper or carved shards than conventional letterforms. Spacing and proportions are intentionally uneven, with compact lowercase forms and dramatic diagonals that emphasize motion.
Best used as a display font for titles, posters, and branding moments where a jagged, animated texture is desirable. It works well for horror-comedy, alternative music artwork, arcade or game UI titles, and event promos that benefit from a raw, cut-out energy. Keep to short lines or key phrases to preserve clarity and impact.
The overall tone is unruly and high-impact, projecting a mischievous, slightly threatening edge. Its spiky shapes suggest action, noise, and agitation—more “scene” than “system”—making it feel playful in a dark, cartoonish way. The texture it creates is loud and attention-grabbing, suited to expressive, character-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, hand-made lettering—like shapes slashed or carved quickly—prioritizing attitude and motion over smoothness or neutrality. Its irregular construction and pointed terminals aim to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice for attention-first typography.
Legibility holds at larger sizes, but the aggressive geometry and irregular spacing can make longer passages feel busy. The figures and capitals share the same shard-like construction, helping headings and short bursts of text maintain a consistent, graphic voice.
