A jagged, brush-cut display face with sharp, tapered terminals and irregular, torn-looking edges. Strokes feel blade-like and slightly calligraphic, with a forward-leaning construction and a restless rhythm that varies from glyph to glyph. Counters are uneven and often pinched, while curves break into angular facets, creating a distressed silhouette. Overall spacing is compact and the texture is high-contrast in tone, with many letters forming spurs, hooks, and thorny protrusions rather than smooth joins.
Best suited to short display settings where atmosphere matters more than comfort: film and game titles, poster headlines, album artwork, event promos, and spooky seasonal graphics. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a dangerous, distressed edge, but the intense texture makes it less appropriate for long passages or small sizes.
The font projects an aggressive, unsettling mood—like scratched lettering carved in haste or painted with a frayed brush. Its spiky contours and unstable outlines suggest danger and suspense, giving text a ritualistic, horror-leaning tone that reads as loud and confrontational.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through thorny, distressed letterforms and a forward-driving, slashed rhythm. By combining brush-like tapering with torn contours, it aims to feel hand-made and volatile—ideal for horror and suspense-oriented typography that needs to look raw and threatening.
Uppercase forms stay relatively tall and narrow, while many lowercase letters adopt simplified, sharp constructions that emphasize diagonal movement over roundness. Numerals inherit the same torn, pointed treatment, keeping a consistent visual voice across alphanumerics.
