A heavy, condensed display face with a forward-leaning posture and a hand-painted brush character. Strokes are thick with irregular edges, abrupt tapers, and frequent thorn-like spikes, giving each form a carved, torn silhouette rather than clean outlines. Counters are small and often partly choked by inked texture, while terminals end in sharp points or rough, frayed stops. Widths vary by letter, but the overall rhythm stays tight and compact, with energetic, uneven stroke behavior that reads like fast, aggressive lettering.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the rough texture and spikes can be appreciated—posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and themed event promotion. It works particularly well for horror or thriller branding, punk/metal music graphics, and game or film titles that benefit from a distressed, threatening voice.
The font projects an ominous, feral tone—more like a warning scrawl than a polished headline. Its sharp, scratchy contours and dense black mass suggest danger, suspense, and late-night horror aesthetics, with a gritty DIY intensity that feels loud and confrontational.
The design appears intended to mimic aggressive brush lettering with deliberate damage and sharp, eerie tapering to create instant atmosphere. It prioritizes mood and impact over neutrality, delivering a compact, high-contrast silhouette that feels urgent and unsettling on the page.
The jagged texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite the intentionally unstable outlines. At smaller sizes the interior openings and spiky details may visually merge, while at larger sizes the distressed brush grain becomes a primary feature.
