A heavy, slanted display face built from dense black shapes with aggressively irregular, thorny contours. Strokes keep substantial weight while their edges flicker with cuts, spikes, and small voids that create a torn-paper silhouette. Letterforms are condensed with upright stems that lean forward, and many terminals end in sharp barbs or dripping-like points, producing a restless rhythm across words. Counters are generally small and uneven, and width varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-made, distressed construction.
Ideal for horror and thriller titling, Halloween/event promotions, game branding, and poster or cover headlines where atmosphere is the primary goal. It can work for short bursts of copy in large sizes, but the distressed edges and tight counters make it better suited to display settings than extended reading.
The texture reads immediately as ominous and theatrical—more like a warning mark than neutral typography. Its serrated outlines and forward slant suggest urgency, danger, and a supernatural or macabre tone, with a punky, DIY edge that feels intentionally unruly.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through a bold, shredded silhouette—combining condensed, forward-leaning structures with sharp, irregular erosion to evoke claws, splinters, and unsettling motion.
In lines of text, the jagged perimeter creates strong color and high visual noise; the font performs best when given breathing room through generous tracking and leading. Numerals and capitals carry the same clawed silhouette, keeping the overall voice consistent across headlines and short statements.
