A jagged, brush-cut display face with aggressively torn edges and sharp, thorn-like terminals. Strokes show pronounced tapering and frequent nicks, creating a high-contrast, ink-slashed silhouette that reads like scratched paint or shredded paper. Letterforms are slightly right-leaning and uneven in stroke rhythm, with irregular counters and varied internal shapes that keep the texture lively; rounded characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) appear as rough rings with chipped contours. Capitals are bold and theatrical, while lowercase maintains similar texture with compact, simplified structures and a sturdy, readable x-height.
Best suited to short display settings where its distressed spikes and tapering can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging, event flyers, and on-screen horror or fantasy branding. It works particularly well when paired with a calmer text face for body copy, using this font for headers, logos, or pull quotes.
The font projects a sinister, supernatural tone—more pulpy and cinematic than subtle—evoking haunted attractions, monster posters, and midnight horror promos. Its spiked contours and distressed ink behavior suggest danger, suspense, and energetic mayhem.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror-themed impact through distressed brush forms, sharp terminal spikes, and uneven contours that mimic scratch marks and torn ink. Consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals supports cohesive, high-energy display typography rather than extended reading.
The overall color is intentionally noisy: edges shimmer with micro-spurs and cut-ins, which adds atmosphere at larger sizes but can crowd detail when set small or tightly tracked. Numerals match the same torn-brush treatment, supporting cohesive titling and headline use across letters and figures.
