A jagged, right-leaning display face built from sharp, torn-looking strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms are heavy and compact with abrupt cuts, hooked corners, and occasional bite-like notches that create a scratched, blade-sliced silhouette. Curves are minimized or fractured into angular arcs, while counters stay relatively tight, giving the alphabet a dense, aggressive texture. Spacing appears uneven by design, contributing to an irregular rhythm and a hand-made, distressed presence in text.
Best used for short display lines where texture and attitude matter more than smooth readability: titles, posters, streaming thumbnails, game UI headers, event flyers, and branded lockups for spooky or rebellious themes. It can also work as an accent font paired with a simple sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels feral and high-energy—like claw marks, shredded paper, or graffiti slashes captured in letterform. It carries a campy menace that reads as spooky and rebellious rather than refined, making it well-suited to sensational, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate a scratched or ripped mark-making style in a bold italic display form—prioritizing dramatic silhouettes, aggressive motion, and a deliberately irregular edge treatment for novelty impact.
Capital shapes show the strongest personality, with exaggerated spikes and torn edges that create striking word silhouettes. Numerals match the same cut-and-slash treatment, keeping the texture consistent across mixed alphanumeric settings, though extended reading becomes visually tiring due to the constant edge activity.
