A rough, hand-drawn display face with a brush-and-ink construction and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and tapered with frequent spikes, notches, and torn-looking edges, creating a fractured silhouette rather than clean curves. The slant and variable stroke width give it a fast, gestural rhythm, while spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph. Counters are often small and pinched, and terminals end in sharp hooks or blunted blobs that read like smeared ink.
Best suited to short display settings where the distressed stroke texture can read clearly—titles, posters, packaging accents, and themed promotions. It works well for horror and spooky seasonal applications, as well as game UI headlines or cover art where a raw, hand-rendered edge is desirable.
The lettering carries an ominous, horror-leaning tone—like hastily painted signage or a scratched warning. Its jagged texture and uneven rhythm feel tense and unstable, suggesting suspense, danger, and supernatural or gritty thriller atmospheres.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering with deliberate degradation—spikes, breaks, and ink-like buildup—so the typography communicates tension and atmosphere as much as the words themselves.
In text, the strong texture becomes the dominant visual feature, with individual characters maintaining a consistent ‘ripped brush’ language even as shapes vary. Numerals and capitals lean toward dramatic, poster-ready forms, while lowercase retains the same scratchy energy, making the overall color dense and attention-grabbing at larger sizes.
