A rough, brush-driven display face with aggressive, jagged terminals and torn-looking edges. Strokes swing between thick swells and sharp tapers, creating a lively, uneven rhythm and a hand-made silhouette. Forms are slightly slanted with frequent wedge-like cuts and clawed spur details, and counters tend to be compact and irregular. The overall color is dense and inky, with intentionally inconsistent stroke boundaries that read like dry-brush texture rather than clean vector geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror and thriller titling, spooky event promotions, game or comic cover treatments, and punchy callouts on posters and packaging. It works especially well where texture and edge are desirable and legibility can be secondary to atmosphere.
The font projects a tense, sinister energy—like scratched paint, splintered wood, or hurried lettering scrawled under pressure. Its sharp hooks and ragged contours evoke horror and dark-fantasy moods while keeping a streetwise, DIY edge that can also feel punk or metal-adjacent.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering with intentionally distressed contours and knife-like terminals, prioritizing mood and impact over typographic neutrality. Its consistent ragged silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a display font built for themed headlines and dramatic branding moments.
In longer sample lines it remains energetic but visually busy, with distinctive spikes on capitals and emphatic diagonals that draw attention. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rough logic, keeping a cohesive set while preserving hand-rendered irregularity across glyphs.
