A heavy, slanted display face built from thick, brush-like strokes with aggressively irregular edges. Letterforms are wide and chunky, with uneven contours, torn-looking counters, and frequent ink-like blobs and bite marks that break up the silhouettes. Stems and terminals vary in thickness and finish, creating a jittery rhythm; curves are lumpy rather than smooth, and diagonals feel hand-driven and slightly unstable. The overall texture reads like wet ink dragged across paper, with deliberate roughness and occasional spurs and notches.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where texture is a feature: posters, title cards, packaging, and promo graphics for horror, dark fantasy, or suspense themes. It works especially well for headlines, logos, and signage-style treatments, while the heavy distressing makes it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects an ominous, horror-leaning tone—messy, uneasy, and high-impact. Its scratchy texture and broken edges evoke grime, decay, and hand-made signage, giving it a theatrical, haunted energy that feels loud and confrontational rather than refined.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, forceful hand-lettering with a distressed ink/paint footprint, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over cleanliness. Its irregular outlines and blotchy counters suggest a deliberate effort to feel handmade, gritty, and unsettling for themed display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a cohesive brush-graffiti character, but with intentionally inconsistent detailing that adds noise and urgency. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, remaining bold and legible at display sizes while retaining the rough, splattered surface.
