A sharply slanted, heavy display face built from rough, brushlike strokes with jagged terminals and torn-looking edges. Forms are predominantly angular with frequent wedge cuts, spur-like protrusions, and irregular contours that create a restless texture. Counters are small and uneven, and stroke endings often taper into points or blunt chisel breaks, producing a high-impact silhouette. The overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, with hand-rendered irregularity and dramatic, spiky diagonals dominating both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography such as horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, game titles, album/mixtape covers, and punchy event flyers. It also works well for short packaging callouts or social graphics where an aggressive, distressed voice is desired and the letterforms can be set large.
The font projects a tense, menacing energy with a gritty, hand-made feel. Its sharp cuts and uneven ink-like texture suggest danger, urgency, and a horror-leaning attitude that feels loud and confrontational rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful lettering made with a loaded brush or marker, then distressed into sharp, spiky breaks. Its goal is maximum impact and atmosphere—prioritizing texture and attitude over smoothness—so the typography itself carries a horror-themed mood.
In text settings the dense black massing and ragged edges create a strong “noise” pattern that reads best at larger sizes. Digit shapes and punctuation carry the same hacked, chiseled character, supporting cohesive titling and short-callout use where texture is a feature rather than a distraction.
