A slanted, brush-driven display face with heavy, inky strokes and sharp, tapered terminals that frequently flare into thorn-like points. Counters are irregular and sometimes pinched, while curves show rough edges and uneven stroke boundaries that mimic fast, dry-brush texture. Letterforms are compact in places and more open in others, creating a lively, uneven rhythm with noticeable size and width variation across glyphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same aggressive angles and flicked endings, keeping the set visually consistent in its rough, hand-rendered construction.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as horror or thriller poster headlines, game and streaming artwork, event promos, and packaging that benefits from a dangerous, hand-made edge. It can also work for short taglines, chapter openers, or pull quotes where texture and attitude are more important than calm readability.
The overall tone is sinister and high-adrenaline, with jagged cuts and razor-like tapers that read as threatening and unstable. It suggests horror title cards, midnight pulp, and supernatural action rather than refined elegance, trading smoothness for tension and bite.
The design appears intended to simulate aggressive hand lettering made with a loaded brush, using rough edges and spiked terminals to build suspense and visual menace. Its exaggerated slant and irregular rhythm prioritize drama and motion for themed display typography.
At smaller sizes the internal roughness and sharp terminals can visually fill in or sparkle, so it reads best with generous sizing and some breathing room. The strongest impact comes from short bursts of text where the uneven rhythm feels intentional and expressive.
