A rough, brush-like display face with heavy strokes and aggressively irregular outlines. Forms are built from chunky masses interrupted by sharp nicks, spikes, and torn-looking terminals, creating a distressed silhouette. Stroke widths swing noticeably within and across letters, with uneven joins and occasional pointed wedges that suggest quick, energetic mark-making. Counters are generally compact and organic rather than geometric, and overall spacing feels lively and slightly erratic, emphasizing texture over precision.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude are the priority—horror or Halloween promotions, movie or game title screens, streamer/YouTube thumbnails, album art, and attention-grabbing posters. It also works well for branding elements like badges or chapter headers when paired with a calmer text font for readability.
The font reads as spooky and unruly, with a hand-rendered menace that recalls horror posters and pulp-comic title lettering. Its spiky distress and ink-scraped edges add tension and urgency, giving text an eerie, confrontational presence while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to simulate a frantic, inked brush mark with deliberately damaged contours, delivering instant genre signaling through spikes and distressed terminals. The goal is high-impact, hand-made character that reads quickly as ominous and theatrical in headlines and logo-like phrases.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged texture and broken-edge logic, producing a consistent “shredded” rhythm across words. Numerals match the letterforms’ rough contouring, making the set feel cohesive for headline use. The dense black shapes and busy edges can visually fill in at small sizes, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room.
