A jagged, brush-like display face built from sharp wedges, knife points, and tapered strokes. Letterforms lean with an italic slant and show irregular stroke endings that pinch into spikes, giving a cut-and-carved silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often triangular or diamond-shaped, and several glyphs rely on angular notches and hooked terminals for definition. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a restless, hand-drawn rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke energy across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display applications where atmosphere matters more than neutrality: horror and thriller titles, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, game or streaming artwork, and punchy headlines on posters and flyers. It can also work for logos or labels that want a handmade, unsettling edge, especially when set large with ample spacing.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking scratched signage, ritual markings, and horror title cards. Its aggressive points and jittery movement create tension and urgency, reading as intentionally unsettling rather than refined or friendly.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, sharp brush strokes and carved marks, prioritizing dramatic silhouettes and a tense, cinematic mood. Its consistent spiked tapering and irregular widths suggest a deliberate aim for expressive, horror-leaning impact in headline settings.
The font’s character is driven by repeated pointed terminals and asymmetrical construction, which makes short words and large sizes especially impactful. In dense settings the irregular shapes can visually collide, so it benefits from generous tracking and clear hierarchy.
