A jagged display face with sharp, knife-like terminals and uneven, torn-looking contours that read as intentionally distressed rather than geometric. Strokes are heavy and compact, with pointed wedges and abrupt notches creating a restless edge rhythm across stems and bowls. Counters are irregular and often tight, and the letterforms lean on angular construction with occasional hook-like serifs and tapered ends. Spacing appears compact and variable, and the overall silhouette favors aggressive peaks and spurs over smooth curves.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability: horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, game/stream title cards, album artwork, and themed packaging. It works well for logos or headers that need immediate impact and a deliberately unsettling voice.
The font projects an ominous, haunted tone—more “carved and cursed” than elegant. Its harsh points and ragged edges evoke horror signage, occult ephemera, and gothic fantasy props, creating a sense of danger and unease even in short words.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-cut or carved lettering with exaggerated spikes and torn edges, prioritizing atmosphere and character. Its consistent use of tapering points and irregular contours suggests a deliberate effort to create a unified horror aesthetic across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms are especially emblematic and spurred, while the lowercase keeps the same rough, thorny logic with compact bowls and clipped joins. Numerals follow suit with angular cuts and pointed tips, maintaining the same distressed texture for consistent titling and date-setting.
