A sharply slanted, hand-rendered display face with extreme tapered strokes and a jagged, brush-like edge. Letterforms are condensed and tall, with pointed terminals, occasional hooked exits, and irregular stroke thickness that creates a flickering, high-drama rhythm across words. Counters tend to be tight and asymmetric, and many glyphs show deliberate imperfections—splits, burrs, and ink-like breaks—while still maintaining a consistent, cohesive construction from caps through figures.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as horror and thriller titling, poster headlines, game or event branding, and punchy taglines where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It also works well for themed packaging, social graphics, and on-screen titles that need immediate atmosphere.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror posters, occult ephemera, and suspenseful title cards. The scratchy texture and needle-like terminals add tension and urgency, making the text feel unstable and haunted rather than polished or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an instant horror mood through condensed, italicized forms and distressed, tapering strokes that mimic frantic brush lettering or scratched marks. Its consistent spikiness and controlled irregularity suggest a purpose-built display face for dramatic, narrative-driven branding.
The condensed proportions and aggressive texture create strong silhouette impact at larger sizes, but the irregular edges and tight internal spaces reduce clarity as size decreases or when set in dense paragraphs. Numerals follow the same angular, slashed treatment, helping maintain the theme in dates and short numeric callouts.
