A sharply angular display face built from sliced triangular strokes and knife-like terminals. The forms lean forward with an energetic slant, and many glyphs appear constructed from separated facets rather than continuous curves, creating a cut-paper or shattered geometry. Counters are small and often diamond- or wedge-shaped, while joins and apexes are exaggerated into spikes that interrupt smooth reading. Overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with abrupt direction changes and a hand-cut feel that emphasizes gesture over regularity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, packaging accents, and entertainment branding where a jagged, energetic texture is desirable. It works well for logos or single words at larger sizes, and as a sparing accent font alongside a more neutral companion for body copy.
The tone is intense and unruly—part comic menace, part punk energy. Its serrated silhouettes and sudden spikes suggest action, noise, and a slightly chaotic humor, making text feel animated and confrontational rather than calm or refined.
The design appears aimed at creating a distinctive, one-off display voice through extreme angularity, segmented strokes, and aggressive terminals. It prioritizes visual attitude and memorable silhouettes over conventional readability, lending itself to expressive, themed typographic moments.
In the sample text, the sharp diagonals and broken strokes create strong texture but reduce legibility as size decreases, especially in longer lines. Capitals read as emblematic shapes, while lowercase maintains the same fractured logic, producing a consistent but intentionally irregular voice.
