A jagged display face with broken, shard-like contours and sharp wedge terminals. Strokes keep a generally consistent thickness but the outlines are intentionally irregular, creating a chipped, torn silhouette throughout. Forms are mostly angular with occasional pinched curves, and counters appear rough-hewn rather than smooth. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, adding a restless rhythm and a hand-damaged texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror-themed posters, game or film titles, album artwork, and attention-grabbing headers. It can also work for chapter titles or pull quotes where atmosphere matters more than continuous readability; for body copy or small sizes, the rough edge detail may overpower letter recognition.
The overall tone is ominous and aggressive, evoking dark folklore, cursed artifacts, or distressed signage. Its fractured edges and spiky cuts read as tense and uneasy, pushing the text toward a dramatic, horror-leaning mood rather than neutrality or refinement.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed, carved, or shattered letterforms—prioritizing texture, menace, and visual bite. Its variable silhouettes and chipped counters aim to inject narrative and mood into display typography, making the type itself feel like part of the scene.
In longer settings the texture becomes the dominant feature, with the uneven edges creating a strong black-and-white sparkle. The caps feel more emblematic and poster-forward, while the lowercase keeps the same torn treatment for a consistent voice across mixed case and numerals.
