A condensed, irregular display face with heavy, solid silhouettes and a hand-cut/inked feel. Strokes wobble and flare unpredictably, with tapered ends, spiky notches, and occasional bulbous terminals that create a rough rhythm across words. Counters are frequently collapsed or reduced to small pinholes, giving many letters a stencil-less, filled-in look and boosting overall darkness. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with narrow bodies, short lowercase, and uneven curves that read as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact lines such as horror or thriller titles, posters, event flyers, and packaging where a dark, distressed tone is desired. It can also work for band/album graphics and game or film branding when set at larger sizes with generous spacing to keep letterforms from clumping.
The font projects a sinister, macabre mood—part blackletter echo, part horror-prop lettering—tempered by a playful handmade crudity. Its dense black shapes and scratchy edges feel gritty and uncanny, suggesting pulp genre fiction, haunted-house signage, or DIY zine aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush or carved lettering with deliberately collapsed counters and unstable stroke edges, prioritizing atmosphere over typographic refinement. It aims to create a bold, ominous texture quickly, functioning as a visual effect as much as a reading font.
In text, the dense fills and tight interior spaces create strong texture but reduce clarity at smaller sizes; the design reads best when given room and set large. The mix of knife-like points and soft blobs creates high visual noise that can be used as a deliberate stylistic accent rather than a neutral voice.
