A jagged, display-oriented face with chunky strokes and sharp, chipped-looking edges that feel cut or torn rather than smoothly drawn. Letterforms are slightly slanted with uneven contours and frequent triangular notches, producing a restless texture across words. Counters tend to be tight and angular, with pointed joins and abrupt terminals; overall spacing appears compact and the rhythm intentionally irregular for a distressed, hand-rendered effect.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where texture and attitude are the priority—such as horror-themed titles, event flyers, game branding, posters, and packaging. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when large enough to keep the distressed details from filling in.
The tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, occult ephemera, and gritty B-movie poster lettering. Its rough, hacked silhouettes and aggressive angles create a sense of tension and unease, reading as raw and untamed rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, hand-cut or brush-carved lettering with deliberate imperfections, trading typographic regularity for atmosphere. Its consistent use of jagged terminals and chipped edges suggests a goal of delivering immediate, genre-forward impact.
Uppercase forms have a strong, emblem-like presence, while the lowercase retains the same torn-edge language for consistent texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same chiseled motif and remain visually weighty, supporting short bursts of high-impact messaging.
