A heavily inked display face with irregular, jagged contours and sharp thorn-like protrusions along stems, terminals, and bowls. Letterforms show a carved, torn-edge silhouette with occasional interior nicks and uneven counters, creating a distressed texture even at larger sizes. Strokes feel dense and weighty, with abrupt tapers and pointed beaks that give many corners a hooked profile; overall spacing and sidebearings read slightly uneven in a deliberate, organic way. Numerals and caps maintain the same aggressive edge treatment, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Ideal for short, high-impact settings such as horror posters, Halloween promotions, game and film titles, and dramatic headers on covers or packaging. It also suits logos or wordmarks for spooky events where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The font projects an ominous, horror-leaning tone—more clawed and serrated than drippy—suggesting danger, darkness, and heightened drama. Its scratchy edges and weapon-like terminals evoke haunted signage and creature-feature title cards, leaning into shock and suspense rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through aggressive, spiked silhouettes and distressed texture, creating a “carved/razored” look that reads as threatening and supernatural. Consistent edge damage across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate effort to keep the mood uniform in both title case and mixed-case display lines.
In running text, the busy perimeter texture and sharp spikes can visually crowd adjacent letters, so it performs best with generous tracking and strong size hierarchy. The most distinctive character comes from the repeated thorned terminals and irregular, eroded edges that keep silhouettes highly animated.
