A sharply angular display face built from broken, knife-like strokes and abrupt corners. Letterforms are narrow-to-medium in presence but vary noticeably in internal proportions, with irregular widths and uneven sidebearings that create a volatile rhythm in text. Many stems end in thorny, splintered terminals, and counters often collapse into small diamond- or wedge-shaped openings, giving the alphabet a carved, distressed silhouette. The overall construction favors pointed diagonals and notched joins, producing a fractured, hand-hewn look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror and Halloween headlines, game title screens, band logos, and promotional posters where the jagged texture is an advantage. It can also work for chapter headings or packaging callouts when paired with a simpler text font for body copy.
The font projects an aggressive, ominous tone—more scratched-and-carved than drippy—suggesting danger, occult energy, and jump-scare tension. Its sharp edges and unstable rhythm feel intentionally hostile and anxious, suited to signaling threat or supernatural unease.
The design appears intended to mimic hastily carved or clawed lettering, emphasizing sharp terminals, fractured joins, and irregular widths to create a threatening, supernatural display voice.
In multi-line setting the texture becomes very spiky, with frequent high-frequency detail at terminals that can visually buzz at smaller sizes. Numerals and round letters rely on faceted, angular contours rather than smooth curves, reinforcing the cut-metal aesthetic.
