A jagged, brush-like italic with narrow, vertically emphasized proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show rough, torn edges and sharp tapers, as if drawn with a dry brush or distressed pen, producing irregular silhouettes and a gritty texture. Counters are generally tight and forms are slightly inconsistent in width, reinforcing a handmade, restless feel. Uppercase shapes keep a condensed, slashing stance, while the lowercase is tall and upright-leaning with spiky terminals; figures follow the same distressed, calligraphic logic for a cohesive set.
Works best for display typography such as horror and suspense titles, Halloween and haunt promotions, game and film poster headlines, and short, high-impact callouts on flyers or social graphics. It can also add mood to packaging or branding elements when used sparingly and given generous size and tracking.
The font projects a tense, ominous tone—more like scratched lettering or hurried ink marks than polished typography. Its serrated edges and aggressive diagonals create a sense of danger and unease, suited to horror-forward or suspenseful messaging where atmosphere matters more than comfort.
The design appears intended to emulate distressed, hand-rendered lettering with a sharp, slashed motion—prioritizing mood, texture, and immediacy. Its consistent ragged edge treatment across letters and numbers suggests a deliberate horror-leaning display face built for dramatic, atmospheric headlines.
At larger sizes the distressed contour reads as intentional texture; at smaller sizes the rough edges and narrow apertures can merge and reduce clarity, especially in dense lines. The italic slant and spiky terminals create strong directional movement, making the face visually loud even in short words.
