This typeface is a condensed, right-leaning italic with sharp, blade-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes appear brush-driven, with torn-looking edges and uneven ink distribution that create a gritty, worn texture. Letterforms are narrow and tall with tight internal spaces, giving lines of text a fast, slanted rhythm. The overall construction mixes calligraphic cursive energy with angular, slightly broken contours for a rough, hand-made finish.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, cover art, title treatments, and branding that benefits from a gritty, energetic voice. It works well for horror/thriller themes, underground or punk-influenced visuals, and editorial headlines where a distressed, hand-rendered look is desired. Use with ample size and spacing to preserve the sharp contrast and textured edges.
The font conveys a tense, dramatic mood—part vintage thriller title and part gritty street poster. Its aggressive slant, high-contrast strokes, and distressed texture read as urgent and expressive rather than refined. The atmosphere leans dark and cinematic, with a haunted, pulp-printed edge.
The design appears intended to merge condensed italic calligraphy with a deliberately roughened, distressed surface, evoking imperfect ink on paper. Its goal is impact and atmosphere—delivering motion, drama, and a weathered print feel in a cohesive display style.
In text settings the rugged edges remain prominent, producing a lively sparkle and a strong sense of motion. The condensed proportions and sharp joins can make dense paragraphs feel intense, so it naturally favors shorter lines where the texture can be appreciated. Numerals share the same jagged, brush-cut character, supporting cohesive display typography.
