This typeface uses rough, brush-like strokes with aggressive tapering and torn-looking edges. Letterforms lean forward and feel hand-rendered, with variable stroke thickness, jagged terminals, and occasional flicks that read as scratches or slashes. Shapes are generally compact but irregular, with uneven contours and a lively, inconsistent baseline that amplifies the handmade character. Counters are often tight and asymmetrical, and the numerals share the same distressed, cut-through texture and energetic rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror posters, film or game titles, haunted-event promotions, and album artwork where texture and attitude are priorities. It also works well for logos or wordmarks in dark-themed brands, and for punchy UI headings in games when used at generous sizes.
The overall tone is tense and ominous, evoking a sense of danger and unrest through its sharp silhouettes and distressed texture. It carries a cinematic, horror-forward attitude—more like a frantic warning scrawled in paint than a polished display face.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering with distressed, blade-like terminals, prioritizing atmosphere over refinement. Its forward slant and irregular construction aim to create urgency and a handcrafted, unsettling presence for display-driven typography.
In the sample text, the texture remains prominent at larger sizes, where the ragged edges and ink-breaks become a defining feature. At smaller sizes, the internal roughness and tight counters can reduce clarity, so the face reads best when given room to breathe and strong contrast against the background.
