A sharply slanted display face built from jagged, chiseled strokes that flare into needle-like terminals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with torn edges and abrupt angles that create a restless, vibrating silhouette. Counters are small and often pinched, and many forms lean on asymmetrical diagonals rather than stable verticals. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an unruly rhythm and an aggressive texture in text.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as film/game titles, event posters, packaging, and channel or episode branding where mood is prioritized over extended readability. It also works well for pull quotes or section headers in dark-themed layouts when given generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is threatening and supernatural, with a hand-cut, blade-scratched energy that reads as ominous rather than playful. Its spiky terminals and uneven contours suggest danger, corruption, and uneasy motion—well suited to horror and dark fantasy atmospheres.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive diagonals, spike-like terminals, and intentionally distressed contours. Its expressive irregularity emphasizes atmosphere and tension, creating a distinctive horror display voice for headlines and logos.
In continuous text the dense black mass and frequent sharp protrusions create strong word-shapes but can reduce legibility at smaller sizes. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same torn, pointed logic as the capitals, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
