A rough, brush-driven display face with sharp terminals, ragged edges, and frequent ink-like breaks that create an uneven silhouette. Strokes are heavy and tapered, with a forward slant and a lively, irregular rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are often tight and asymmetrical, and the outlines wobble subtly as if painted quickly with a dry brush. Overall proportions vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally unstable, handmade texture.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability—such as posters, title treatments, horror-themed covers, game UI headings, and promotional graphics. It works particularly well at larger sizes where the torn edges and brush artifacts can be appreciated, and where a raw, frightening voice is desirable.
The font projects a tense, ominous energy—more like scratched signage or frantic brush lettering than refined typography. Its jagged cuts and abrupt tapers read as aggressive and unsettling, lending an eerie, ritualistic tone. The overall feel is dramatic and confrontational, suited to imagery that leans dark, supernatural, or threatening.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, aggressive brush lettering with distressed edges, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over smooth repetition. Its irregular stroke behavior and jagged terminals are crafted to amplify tension and create a handmade, unsettling presence in headlines and logo-like treatments.
In continuous text, the texture becomes dense and highly expressive, with occasional spikiness at joins and terminals that adds motion. Numerals and capitals maintain the same distressed treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive while preserving the intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered character.
