A jagged, hand-drawn display face with sharply angled strokes, wedge-like terminals, and irregular brush pressure that creates a lively, uneven rhythm. Letterforms lean forward and vary noticeably in width, with narrow overall proportions but frequent flare-outs and sudden direction changes. Corners are often faceted rather than rounded, and counters tend to be small and angular, giving many glyphs a rune-like, cut-into-the-surface quality. Numerals and capitals share the same scratchy, high-energy construction, prioritizing character over uniformity.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween headlines, game and film titles, poster lettering, and packaging or merchandise that benefits from a rough, eerie voice. It works well when set with generous tracking and ample size so the jagged strokes and angular counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels ominous and restless, like hurried markings, cursed signage, or improvised symbols scrawled in the dark. Its sharp edges and uneasy texture push it toward horror and supernatural themes while still reading as playful in a pulp, comic, or campy way.
Likely designed to mimic quick, nervous hand lettering with a carved or runic edge, balancing legibility with a deliberately unsettling texture. The forward slant and spiked terminals emphasize motion and tension, helping headlines feel urgent and uncanny.
The design’s intentional inconsistencies—varying stroke thickness, shifting baselines, and slightly eccentric proportions—are part of its charm, but they also make it feel more expressive than orderly. The silhouette stays strong at larger sizes, where the angular terminals and carved-looking joins are most apparent.
