A jagged, distressed display face built from chunky strokes with sharp, splintered terminals and irregular edges. The contours feel carved or scratched, with uneven verticals and intermittent notches that create a torn silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, while joins and diagonals break into knife-like protrusions that add visual noise. Spacing appears compact and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, emphasizing a handmade, aggressive texture across both uppercase and lowercase plus numerals.
Well suited to horror and thriller titling, Halloween promotions, haunted house/festival branding, and game or streaming key art where an immediate spooky cue is needed. It also works for album covers, event flyers, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a loud, distressed headline style.
The font communicates horror poster energy—tense, unsettling, and deliberately unruly. Its spines and ragged cuts suggest danger and decay, while the slightly playful, exaggerated shapes keep it in a cinematic, themed territory rather than a purely grim tone.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through sharp, torn strokes and a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered finish. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact over smooth readability, making it ideal as a thematic display face for short, attention-grabbing copy.
At text sizes the rough interior cuts and spiky terminals can visually merge, so it reads best with generous tracking and short runs. Numerals share the same shredded texture, helping maintain a cohesive look in dates, episode numbers, and titles.
