A scratchy, hand-drawn display face built from sharp, angular strokes and uneven pen-like textures. Letterforms are narrow and upright, with high-contrast weight shifts created by abrupt tapers and occasional heavy blobs at stroke ends. Edges look torn and irregular, as if drawn with a dry brush or marker, producing broken contours and slight ink buildup. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally unrefined, volatile rhythm; round forms like O and Q are more looped and gestural, while many capitals rely on pointed vertices and knife-like terminals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as titles, headers, posters, and packaging where a distressed, threatening voice is desired. It can work well for horror and thriller branding, event promos, and game or streaming graphics, especially when set at larger sizes where the texture and tapering are legible.
The overall tone is tense and menacing, with a frantic, improvised energy that reads as horror-adjacent rather than playful. Its jagged silhouettes and scratch marks evoke danger, suspense, and a distressed, underground attitude, making the text feel like a warning scrawled in haste.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-rendered scrawl with sharpened, weapon-like terminals and distressed edges, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. Its variable letter widths and irregular stroke behavior suggest a deliberate aim for instability and tension, helping the type inject narrative character into display settings.
The set mixes angular construction with occasional swirling counters (notably in O/Q), creating strong visual variety while staying coherent through consistent rough texture and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same hand-cut feel, with exaggerated angles and uneven curves that keep the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
