A jagged, ink-brush display face with spiky terminals, irregular edges, and strong thick–thin modulation across strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight counters and visibly uneven stroke boundaries that mimic dry-brush or worn printing. Curves (C, O, G, S) show broken contours and slight wobble, while verticals often end in tapered, bristled tips. The lowercase stays small relative to the capitals, and the overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a deliberate, handcrafted way.
Best suited to display settings where texture and mood matter more than clean readability—such as horror or mystery titles, album/film graphics, themed event posters, game UI headings, and branded lockups for dark or gritty concepts. Use it sparingly for emphasis, pairing with a simpler text face for body copy.
The texture and sharp, distressed finishing give it a dark, theatrical presence—suggesting horror, occult ephemera, and handmade posters. Its energetic roughness feels urgent and slightly menacing, like lettering painted quickly with a loaded brush or stamped and degraded over time.
Designed to deliver an immediate distressed, hand-rendered impact, combining high-contrast brush behavior with deliberately broken edges for a dramatic, theme-forward voice. The goal appears to be bold mood-setting for short text rather than neutral, continuous reading.
Numerals and punctuation carry the same distressed texture, helping maintain a cohesive tone in headlines and short lines. The rough detailing becomes a defining feature at larger sizes, where the torn edges and bristle marks read as intentional character rather than noise.
