A jagged display face with fractured, thorn-like terminals and irregular, torn-looking contours throughout. Strokes are heavy and compact, with sharp notches and occasional drip-like spikes that break the silhouette, creating a distressed, hand-cut feel. Counters are tight and uneven, and the texture is intentionally rough, producing a flickering edge rhythm that reads as “shredded” even in longer lines. Numerals and capitals carry the same aggressive ornamentation, maintaining consistent bite-shaped nicks and spurs across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, seasonal promotions, horror game UI headings, and album/mixtape artwork where texture and mood are primary. It can work for logos or lockups when given enough space to keep the spurs and torn edges legible.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking haunted-house signage, horror titles, and supernatural folklore. Its spiked edges and distressed ink-trap feel suggest danger, decay, and unease, with a campy, B-movie energy that becomes more intense at larger sizes.
Designed to deliver an immediate horror-leaning atmosphere through aggressive, spiky terminals and a consistently distressed outline. The letterforms prioritize expressive silhouette and gritty texture over neutrality, aiming for instant thematic recognition in display contexts.
The font’s texture creates strong character at headline scale, but the frequent protrusions and uneven edges can visually crowd adjacent letters in tighter settings. Slightly increased tracking and generous line spacing help preserve the sharp silhouettes and keep the distressed detail from blending together.
