A jagged, angular display face with heavy strokes and chiseled silhouettes. Terminals are torn and spiked, creating irregular contours that look like ripped paper or rough brush nicks, while counters stay relatively compact and blocky. The construction leans on blackletter-like geometry—pointed arches, faceted curves, and straight-sided bowls—tempered by distressed edge breakup that varies from glyph to glyph. Spacing reads tight and compact, and the overall texture is dark and gritty with frequent needle-like protrusions along stems and joins.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where texture is a feature: posters, horror or thriller titling, album and merch graphics, event flyers, and bold brand marks for edgy products or venues. It works especially well when paired with simple supporting text to balance its high-detail silhouettes.
The font projects a tense, ominous energy with a gritty, confrontational edge. Its spiked distressing and medieval-leaning forms evoke horror titles, metal and punk aesthetics, and a rough DIY attitude suited to dramatic, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter-inspired structure with pronounced distressed edges, delivering a forceful display voice that reads as rugged, menacing, and handmade. The consistent angular skeleton provides legibility while the spiky wear pattern supplies the thematic punch.
In the sample text, the distressed edge treatment remains consistent enough to form a cohesive line texture, but the sharp protrusions create a lively, noisy surface that becomes more pronounced as sizes increase. Numerals follow the same faceted, cut-metal feel, helping maintain stylistic continuity across headlines and short phrases.
