This display face is built from sharp, shard-like strokes that form broken contours and irregular polygonal bowls. The rhythm is jittery and hand-cut in feel, with pointed terminals, abrupt direction changes, and frequent notches that create a fractured silhouette. Counters are tight and uneven, and curved forms are rendered as faceted angles rather than smooth arcs, giving the alphabet a chiseled, torn-paper texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Overall spacing is compact and the word shapes read as wiry and serrated, prioritizing character over smooth text flow.
Best suited for horror-leaning titles, posters, and packaging where a distressed, supernatural voice is desired. It works well for game branding and UI headers, film or podcast artwork, album covers, and short pull-quote treatments. Use it primarily in display sizes, and pair with a simple, clean text face for body copy.
The tone is ominous and unsettling, evoking horror props, occult ephemera, and distressed signage. Its sharp edges and broken outlines suggest something ancient, hacked, or cursed, while the irregularity adds a mischievous, B-movie creepiness rather than pure austerity.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or chipped lettering with deliberate fractures and spikes, delivering immediate genre signaling. Its consistent faceting across glyphs suggests a purposeful system for turning traditional serif-like structures into jagged, horror-ready forms.
The numerals and caps carry the strongest personality, with angular bowls and spiky joins that create dramatic silhouettes at larger sizes. At smaller sizes the intentional fractures and notches can visually merge, so it benefits from generous size and restrained line lengths when used for copy.
