A condensed display face with irregular, hand-cut silhouettes and aggressive, tapering terminals. Strokes show rough, torn edges with occasional drip-like descenders and hooked ends, creating a deliberately distressed outline rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are mostly vertical in posture, with uneven stroke thickness and jittery contours that produce a lively, unstable rhythm across words. Counters are often tight and asymmetrical, and the overall texture reads as inked or scraped, especially in tall capitals and narrow lowercase forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where atmosphere matters more than neutrality—film and game titles, haunted-event promotions, book covers, and punchy packaging or label work. It can also function as a secondary accent font for quotes or callouts when you want a controlled dose of menace.
The font projects a horror-forward tone—ominous, unsettling, and theatrical—like titles pulled from a haunted poster or a pulp monster cover. Its sharp protrusions and droplet details add a sense of decay and danger, making even simple phrases feel suspenseful.
The design appears intended to simulate a handcrafted, horror-prop look—combining narrow, vertical letterforms with spiked and dripping details to evoke fear, tension, and decay. Its irregular contours prioritize personality and mood, aiming for immediate genre signaling in display typography.
The condensed proportions and uneven widths create strong vertical emphasis, while the rough perimeter adds heavy texture at any size. Numerals and uppercase maintain the same jagged language, helping headings and short lines look cohesive; in longer text, the distressed edges can visually accumulate and feel intentionally chaotic.
