A jagged, brush-like display face with sharply tapered strokes and irregular, torn edges throughout. Letterforms lean forward with a quick, slashing rhythm, mixing thick inky masses with thin needle-like terminals and occasional splatters or notches. Counters are often pinched or angular, and curves break into spikes, giving the alphabet a restless, hand-wrought texture. Spacing appears tight and lively, with uneven silhouettes that create a vibrating, distressed word shape.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, logos, chapter heads, and promotional graphics where texture and attitude are the message. It excels on dark or high-contrast layouts for horror, thriller, and action-adjacent branding, and is less appropriate for extended reading or small UI sizes where the distressed edges may blur.
The overall tone is tense and threatening, evoking late-night horror titles, creature-feature posters, and frantic warning scrawls. Its rough, blade-like energy reads as urgent and volatile rather than refined, leaning into shock and suspense.
The design intention appears to be a dramatic, hand-made horror display style that mimics slashed brushstrokes and torn ink to create immediate tension and atmosphere. Consistent spiking, tapering, and edge breakup suggest it’s built to deliver a recognizable, cinematic scare aesthetic at headline scale.
The uppercase set feels more emblematic and poster-ready, while the lowercase and figures maintain the same torn-brush texture with slightly lighter presence. Numerals and round letters show visibly disrupted curves, reinforcing the scratched, distressed motif across the set.
