This typeface uses sharp, splintered strokes with abrupt tapers and ragged terminals that mimic torn paper or claw marks. Letterforms are angular and irregular, with uneven contours and noticeable width variation from glyph to glyph, giving the set a hand-made, distressed rhythm. Curves are faceted rather than smooth, counters are often tight and asymmetrical, and many joins flare into spikes, producing a deliberately unsettled texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same jagged construction, with pointed corners and uneven stroke endings that keep the overall color lively and abrasive.
Ideal for display settings where atmosphere is more important than neutrality—such as horror film posters, Halloween event graphics, game title screens, album art, and spooky packaging or signage. It also works well for short taglines, chapter headings, and on-screen overlays that need an immediate jolt of tension.
The font reads as ominous and confrontational, evoking horror titles, occult markings, and suspense-driven storytelling. Its aggressive edges and scratchy energy create a sense of danger and volatility, adding drama even in short words or single-letter settings.
The design appears intended to simulate a brutal, hand-rendered mark—part brush, part scratch—built to create a dramatic, unsettling presence. Its controlled inconsistency and spiked terminals suggest a focus on mood-setting display typography rather than long-form reading.
The texture is visually busy, so spacing and line length have a strong impact on legibility; it holds up best when given room to breathe. Capitals feel especially emblematic and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same torn, spiky voice for continuous text accents.
