A rough, high-impact display face with jagged, torn contours and sharp spur-like terminals. Strokes feel brushy and eroded, with chunky masses punctured by irregular notches and occasional pinhole voids, creating a distressed silhouette throughout. Letterforms vary in width and carry a slightly slanted, hand-cut rhythm; counters are often uneven and partially collapsed, increasing density and texture in running text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same aggressive edge treatment, producing a cohesive, stormy texture across the set.
Use it for display applications where atmosphere matters more than long-form readability: horror and thriller titling, Halloween campaigns, haunted attractions, game and streaming artwork, and cover design. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, chapter heads, or event flyers—paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone is ominous and volatile, evoking horror titles, cursed manuscripts, and creature-feature posters. Its rough edges and biting angles suggest danger and decay, delivering a loud, unsettling voice suited to dark, theatrical messaging.
The design appears intended to simulate a distressed, hand-rendered or weathered carved look, prioritizing an eerie silhouette and energetic texture. Its inconsistent edges and pointed accents are tuned to communicate threat and suspense quickly in headlines.
In paragraphs, the heavy texture and irregular counters create a noisy color that reads best at larger sizes and with generous spacing. The strongest visual identity comes from the consistent ragged perimeter and spiked terminals rather than internal detail.
