A heavy, slanted display face with rough, brush-like edges and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes appear smeared and torn, with frequent spikes, notches, and tapered terminals that create a choppy silhouette. Counters are generally small and uneven, and many joins feel carved or gouged rather than cleanly constructed. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing a restless rhythm that reads like fast, ink-loaded hand lettering.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: horror and Halloween promotions, thriller or survival game titles, album covers, and punchy headlines on flyers or social graphics. It works especially well at larger sizes where the distressed edges and spiky terminals can be appreciated without cluttering the forms.
The texture and sharp, distressed endings give the font a tense, menacing tone with a strong B-movie horror energy. Its inky black massing feels loud and confrontational, suggesting danger, suspense, and a deliberately unpolished, handmade attitude.
The design intent appears to be a dramatic, horror-leaning brush display with strong silhouette and deliberate roughness. Its irregular widths, torn edges, and tapering terminals prioritize mood and immediacy over neutrality, aiming to feel hand-made, urgent, and unsettling.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocky with rough shoulders and abrupt terminals, while lowercase shapes keep the same jagged brush character with simplified, punchy constructions. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, with especially irregular curves and occasional hook-like endings that help maintain the eerie, handmade consistency across the set.
