A heavy, angular display face built from straight segments and sharp corners, with frequent triangular notches and blade-like terminals that point downward. Strokes are blocky and uniform, with squared counters and minimal curvature, creating a carved, cut-paper silhouette. The rhythm is intentionally irregular: widths and internal spaces vary by glyph, and several letters use asymmetric cuts and stepped joins that emphasize a fractured, constructed feel. Lowercase largely echoes the uppercase structure rather than adopting a softer text style, keeping the set visually consistent and highly graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, game/UI title treatments, album or event graphics, and themed branding where a jagged, carved look is desirable. It works particularly well when set with generous tracking or in large sizes where the internal cutouts and distinctive terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is aggressive and playful at once—evoking arcade-era title screens, fantasy/dungeon signage, and camp-horror aesthetics. Its sharp “fang” terminals and chiseled forms give it a dramatic, slightly ominous personality, while the quirky letterfit and uneven details keep it from feeling formal or traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice through sharp geometry and deliberate irregularity, prioritizing silhouette and attitude over neutral readability. Its consistent use of notches and pointed terminals suggests a goal of creating a cohesive “blade-carved” motif that feels custom and illustrative.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and pointed cut-ins can visually fill in, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. The numeral and punctuation styling follows the same jagged, constructed logic, reinforcing a cohesive, emblem-like look across mixed text.
