A heavy, irregular display face with compact proportions and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and uneven, with sharp spikes, hooked terminals, and occasional horn-like notches that create a torn, organic edge. Counters are small and often asymmetrical, and curves tend to buckle into angular kinks rather than smooth arcs. Spacing and widths fluctuate across the alphabet, producing a lively, unstable rhythm that reads as intentionally distressed rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited for horror-themed titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-house branding, and dramatic poster headlines. It can also work for game menus, streaming thumbnails, and album or event graphics where a gritty, scary texture is desired. Use at larger sizes and with generous line spacing to keep the jagged details from clumping.
The letterforms project a sinister, haunted tone—part occult poster, part monster-movie title card. The jagged contours and thorny terminals add tension and urgency, making the text feel aggressive and slightly unpredictable. Overall, it leans theatrical and creepy rather than subtle or refined.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-rendered, cutout or brush-ink look with sharp, threatening terminals and distressed edges. Its goal is instant atmosphere—delivering a spooky, high-impact voice that prioritizes silhouette and texture over neutrality.
The uppercase forms feel more emblematic and dramatic, while the lowercase retains the same rough stroke behavior for consistent texture in longer lines. Numerals match the same carved/inked treatment, keeping a cohesive look across headings and short bursts of copy. The dense weight and uneven edges favor larger sizes where the silhouette can be appreciated.
