A heavy, slanted display face with irregular, jagged contours and chiseled-looking terminals. Strokes feel brushy and fractured, with strong thick–thin swings and frequent bite-marks along outer edges that create a torn silhouette. Counters are compact and uneven, and joins often form sharp notches and spikes, giving the letters a gnawed, weathered texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-made, distressed rhythm rather than a mechanical grid.
This font suits high-impact titling for horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, and ominous event flyers. It also fits album/track art, podcast cover titles, game splash screens, and chapter headers where a distressed, aggressive voice is desirable. Use it at larger sizes and with generous tracking/leading when you need the jagged texture to remain legible.
The overall tone is ominous and abrasive, evoking horror ephemera, cursed headlines, and late-night pulp posters. Its aggressive texture reads as chaotic and unsettling, suggesting danger and suspense more than refinement. The slant and rough edge-work add urgency, like text scraped onto a surface or printed from a worn block.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed ink or eroded lettering, combining a forceful headline structure with deliberately damaged edges. Its goal is to communicate dread and grit quickly, prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over clean readability in small text.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, making the alphabet feel like a cohesive set of battered shapes rather than isolated novelty glyphs. In longer lines the ragged edges create a strong dark color, so the face works best when the rough silhouette is allowed to be the main visual feature.
