A jagged, hand-drawn display face built from slim, tapering strokes and abrupt spikes. Letterforms lean forward with an uneven, nervous rhythm, and terminals frequently end in needle-like points or hooked cuts. Counters are irregular and slightly pinched, while curves appear carved rather than smoothly drawn, creating rough edges and intermittent thick-to-thin shifts. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a distressed, scratchy silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase, with compact lowercase proportions and small interior spaces.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and attitude matter more than extended readability—such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, poster headlines, game UI/branding moments, and packaging or album-cover typography. It can also work for logotypes and chapter/section openers when you want a sharp, occult-leaning mood.
The font projects a menacing, supernatural tone—like scratched lettering from a cursed manuscript or a late-night horror title card. Its sharp points and uneasy stroke behavior create tension and motion, lending an ominous, unsettling voice that reads as dramatic rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to evoke fear and suspense through aggressive, tapered strokes and irregular, hand-cut contours. By combining a forward slant with spiky terminals and uneven widths, it prioritizes atmosphere and dramatic silhouette for themed display use.
Uppercase forms skew tall and blade-like, and several letters feature exaggerated notches and hooked joins that enhance the “cut” effect. Numerals follow the same carved, spiky logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and short bursts of text.
