A jagged, slashed display face with aggressive brush-like strokes and sharply torn terminals. Letterforms lean forward with a fast, italic rhythm, and the contours show deliberate irregularity—edges look chipped and serrated rather than smoothly drawn. Stems are heavy and compact, counters are tight, and the overall spacing feels tense, creating a dense texture in words. The silhouette varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set an energetic, hand-cut look while retaining clear uppercase structure.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or thriller titles, game splash screens, event promos, and cover art where texture is part of the message. It works well for logos and headline typography that benefits from a distressed, aggressive voice, especially on dark backgrounds or with ample size to preserve the torn details.
The font projects a threatening, adrenaline-charged tone—like claw marks or hurried lettering scraped into a surface. Its rough, spiky finishing and forward thrust read as suspenseful and confrontational, leaning into horror and dark action aesthetics rather than refinement.
This design appears intended to simulate feral, slashed brush lettering—prioritizing attitude, speed, and edge texture over neutrality. The irregular contours and spiked terminals are tuned for dramatic display use where a scary, high-energy mood is the primary goal.
In longer lines, the strong diagonal movement and irregular edges create a busy, high-contrast texture between black mass and white gaps, which amplifies drama but can reduce comfort at small sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest impact, with distinctive, angular silhouettes that read quickly in short bursts.
