This typeface uses a slanted, brushlike construction with heavy, uneven strokes and pronounced edge breakup. Letterforms are built from angular, tapering strokes that end in sharp hooks and rough, torn-looking terminals, creating a scratchy silhouette throughout. Counters are irregular and often pinched, and curves read as faceted rather than smooth, with visible wobble in stroke edges. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a hand-made rhythm that stays coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where atmosphere matters: horror and thriller titles, game or film promo art, haunted attraction signage, and dramatic headlines on posters or packaging. It can work for short bursts of text in themed layouts, but the dense texture and irregular edges are most effective at larger sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is aggressive and unsettling, evoking claw marks, distressed ink, and hurried warning signs. Its energy feels frantic and volatile, making the texture itself a key part of the message rather than a neutral carrier of text.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, distressed brush lettering—prioritizing mood, texture, and a threatening presence over precision. Its consistent slant and recurring hooked terminals suggest a deliberate system for producing a gritty, horror-leaning voice across the full basic character set.
Uppercase forms are compact and punchy with strong diagonals, while lowercase maintains the same rough texture and forward lean for continuity in longer passages. Numerals follow the same jagged logic, with angular turns and roughened contours that keep the set visually unified.
