A rough brush display face with sharply tapered terminals, ragged edges, and pronounced stroke contrast that mimics loaded ink and dry-brush breakup. Letterforms lean forward with irregular widths and lively, uneven rhythm, combining broad, heavy swells with needle-like flicks and cuts. Counters are often compact and angular, and joins feel torn or chiseled, creating a consistently distressed silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, spooky event flyers, and game or streaming graphics. It also works well for album covers, book jackets, and packaging where an aggressive, distressed brush voice is desired. Use sparingly for body copy, reserving it for display lines and punchy callouts.
The font conveys a tense, ominous energy—like hastily painted warnings or arcane markings. Its scratchy texture and spike-like endings read as threatening and dramatic, leaning into horror and suspense rather than refinement. The overall tone is loud, urgent, and theatrical.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive hand-painted lettering with distressed ink behavior, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over typographic neutrality. Its spiked terminals, uneven rhythm, and torn contours aim to create a visceral, unsettling presence that reads instantly as dramatic and edgy.
The sample text shows strong impact at headline sizes, where the torn brush texture and sharp terminals remain legible and expressive. At smaller sizes, the rough edges and tight counters may visually fill in, so generous tracking and spacing can help preserve clarity.
