A jagged, angular display face built from chunky strokes and sharp, irregular terminals. Edges are deliberately rough with splinter-like notches and bite marks that create a torn silhouette, while counters stay fairly open and geometric for legibility. The rhythm is choppy and high-energy, with uneven contours and abrupt corners giving each glyph a carved, fractured look across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same broken, cut-out logic with pronounced spikes and hard angles.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as horror/thriller titles, Halloween promotions, game or streaming artwork, and attention-grabbing poster headlines. It works well when you want a strong silhouette and a noisy, unsettling texture, especially at larger sizes where the jagged detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is threatening and uncanny, combining a heavy presence with scratchy, distressed details that feel volatile and unsettling. It evokes a sense of danger and tension—like warning signage or a title card meant to intimidate—while still reading clearly at headline sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, fear-leaning display voice by pairing sturdy letter structures with intentionally damaged, spiked contours. It aims to stay readable while injecting tension through aggressive terminals and fractured edges.
Lowercase forms echo the uppercase structure rather than becoming more cursive, reinforcing a consistent, poster-like texture. The distressed treatment is integrated into the outlines (not just added noise), so the silhouette reads as torn or clawed along stems, crossbars, and corners.
