A jagged, brush-like display face with sharp, torn edges and frequent dagger-like terminals. Strokes show uneven boundaries and irregular tapering, creating a distressed silhouette that reads as scratched or clawed rather than cleanly drawn. Forms are slanted with a dynamic forward motion, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a restless rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and many letters feature hooked or serrated entry/exit strokes that amplify the spiky texture across words.
Best suited to horror-forward titling: film and streaming artwork, game cover/type, event posters, haunted attraction signage, and Halloween or thriller promotions. It also works for band/album logotypes and punchy packaging callouts where a harsh, distressed attitude is desirable. For clarity, use at larger sizes with generous tracking and limited line lengths.
The overall tone is threatening and high-intensity, evoking horror and danger through its blade-like cuts and shredded contours. It feels loud and urgent, with a punk/metal energy that suggests alarm, suspense, and cinematic scares. The irregularity adds a raw, unpredictable character that heightens tension in short phrases.
This font appears designed to deliver an immediate fright/impact cue through distressed, razor-like brush forms and exaggerated spurs. The intent is expressive display typography that prioritizes mood and texture over neutrality, giving headlines a scratched, ominous voice that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the aggressive edge detail accumulates quickly, so readability depends strongly on size and spacing; it performs best when given room and used in bursts rather than dense paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same torn, pointed language, helping maintain a consistent voice across mixed content.
