A jagged, slanted display face with sharp, chiseled strokes and aggressively tapered terminals. Letterforms are condensed and irregular in rhythm, with serrated edges and notched contours that mimic distressed cut-metal or clawed brush marks. Stems often end in needle-like points, counters are tight and angular, and the overall silhouette feels intentionally rough and uneven while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited for horror-themed headlines, title treatments, and short bursts of text on posters, game/film branding, album covers, and Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions. It also works well for logos or wordmarks where a sharp, threatening texture is desired, especially when paired with a calmer supporting text face.
The font projects a sinister, high-drama mood—more like a scream than a whisper—evoking horror title cards, occult signage, and ominous warnings. Its spiked texture and restless movement create tension and urgency, lending an eerie, adversarial tone to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror/menace cue through condensed proportions, a strong forward slant, and weapon-like terminals. Its distressed, serrated stroke treatment prioritizes atmosphere and impact over neutrality, aiming to make even simple words feel dangerous and uncanny.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent torn, blade-like texture, with distinctive hooks and barbs in letters such as J, S, and R. Numerals follow the same carved, pointed style, supporting cohesive titling across posters and cover art. The strongest impact comes from generous tracking and larger sizes where the serrations read clearly without filling in.
