A rough, brush-driven display face with aggressive, torn edges and sharp, splintered terminals. Strokes show uneven ink texture and frequent bite-like notches, creating a restless contour while maintaining a consistent right-leaning slant. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially closed by rough interior shapes, and the overall rhythm is condensed with energetic, hand-made variability across letters. Numerals and punctuation follow the same distressed treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive.
Best for display typography in posters, film or episode titles, and promotional graphics where a threatening, distressed mood is needed. It also fits album artwork, game UI/graphics, and event branding that benefits from a raw, unsettling texture rather than clean readability.
The font projects a tense, ominous tone—like scratched paint, claw marks, or hurried lettering on a warning sign. Its noisy texture and jagged silhouettes feel volatile and suspenseful, well suited to horror and shock-driven atmospheres.
The design appears intended to mimic hurried, abrasive hand lettering with torn-ink texture and pointed, claw-like terminals, creating immediate dramatic impact. It prioritizes mood and silhouette over refinement, delivering a cohesive distressed look across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the distressed perimeter reads as intentional texture; at small sizes the rough edges and tight apertures can blur together. The irregularity adds character but also amplifies visual noise, so generous spacing and short phrases tend to work best.
