A condensed display face with tall, angular silhouettes and aggressively tapered terminals. Strokes alternate between heavy, blunt masses and hairline slivers, producing sharp internal contrast and a flickering rhythm across words. Contours are intentionally irregular, with thorny protrusions and occasional drip-like descenders that extend below the baseline. Curves are narrow and pinched, counters are small, and joins often form pointed intersections, giving the alphabet a cut-out, distressed look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as film or event titles, posters, album/playlist covers, game logos, and spooky seasonal promotions. It works well for punchy headers and signage where the jagged silhouette can be appreciated without demanding sustained readability.
The font projects a sinister, suspense-driven tone—like scratched ink, torn paper, or creeping shadows. Its uneven edges and fang-like terminals create a feeling of tension and unease, leaning into classic horror and haunted-house theatrics rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-cut or distressed lettering with horror-specific cues—needle-like spikes, ink drips, and uneven stroke breakups—creating immediate genre signaling and strong atmosphere in display applications.
In running text the texture becomes very active: vertical strokes dominate, spacing feels tight, and the irregular terminals create a noisy outline that reads best at larger sizes. Numerals match the same razor-edged language and elongated proportions, maintaining a consistent, unsettling texture across lines.
