A sharp, irregular display face built from angular, chiseled strokes and broken contours. Letterforms show abrupt terminals, knife-like notches, and uneven edges that mimic torn paper or carved wood, with a consistent right-leaning motion and a lively, hand-made rhythm. Curves are faceted into polygonal shapes (notably in O/C/G), while many stems taper to points, creating a scratchy texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Spacing reads intentionally uneven, reinforcing the distressed, hand-drawn construction and energetic silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture and atmosphere matter: horror or thriller titling, haunted-event promotions, game or streaming key art, and edgy branding moments. It can work for pull quotes or brief taglines, but the deliberate roughness and irregular spacing make it less appropriate for dense body copy or small UI text.
The font projects an ominous, uncanny tone—like hastily scratched signage or ritual markings. Its spiked terminals and fractured outlines create tension and urgency, lending a cinematic horror feel that’s more raw and aggressive than polished or elegant.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-cut or clawed lettering with controlled inconsistency—maintaining recognizable skeletons while adding cracks, spikes, and faceted curves to maximize a threatening, suspenseful presence.
Uppercase forms feel bolder and more emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more variation and twitchy stroke endings, which adds movement in longer text. Numerals follow the same carved, irregular logic, keeping the set visually coherent for poster dates, episode numbers, or chapter headings.
