A jagged, hand-drawn display face built from sharp wedges and tapering strokes. Letterforms are narrow with uneven widths and irregular contours, giving the outlines a torn, ink-scraped quality. Terminals frequently end in spear-like points, and curves are often faceted into angular segments rather than smooth arcs. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, while verticals and diagonals vary subtly in thickness, creating a restless rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to titles, logos, and short phrases where the spiky silhouette can read clearly—such as horror or thriller posters, haunted-attraction branding, Halloween campaigns, or dark fantasy game UI and title screens. It also works well for album art and merch graphics where a distressed, menacing voice is desired.
The font projects an eerie, aggressive energy—more ritualistic scratch-mark than polished lettering. Its spines and hooked endings suggest danger and instability, leaning into a supernatural, horror-leaning atmosphere. The overall tone feels raw and unpredictable, suitable for creating tension at a glance.
The design appears intended to mimic scratched or carved lettering with exaggerated points and irregular strokes, prioritizing mood and immediate impact over neutrality. Its cohesive roughness suggests a purpose-built display style meant to signal dread, mystery, and theatrical darkness in a single typographic gesture.
The texture is visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with many glyphs adopting distinctive, rune-like silhouettes. Spacing and shapes feel intentionally uneven, which adds character at large sizes but can reduce clarity in longer reading. Numerals carry the same sharp, fractured construction, keeping the set cohesive in headings and short bursts of text.
