A jagged, hand-rendered display face with chunky strokes, uneven contours, and frequent ragged bite-like notches along the edges. Letterforms lean slightly and show inconsistent widths and counters, creating a lively, unstable rhythm across words. Strokes feel brush- or marker-driven with blunt terminals and occasional tapered flicks, giving forms a cut-out, distressed silhouette rather than clean geometry. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same rough texture, with simplified structures that prioritize impact over refinement.
Best suited to high-impact display applications such as horror posters, haunted event flyers, game title screens, podcast/stream thumbnails, and packaging or labels that need a rough, threatening edge. It works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and branding accents where texture and atmosphere matter more than sustained readability.
The font projects an ominous, gritty tone—like hastily painted signage or scraped lettering in a suspense setting. Its irregular outlines and twitchy energy suggest unease and danger, balancing bold mass with unsettling edge noise for a dramatic, horror-leaning voice.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed, hand-painted lettering with a purposely imperfect silhouette, trading typographic polish for mood and immediacy. Its wide stance and bold black shapes aim for instant legibility at display sizes while the torn edges and uneven rhythm deliver a spooky, unsettling character.
In longer text, the strong texture remains prominent and can visually “buzz,” especially where tight joins and small counters occur. The most successful setting is with generous tracking and short lines, letting the irregular rhythm read as intentional rather than crowded.
