A heavy, slanted display face with a brush-painted construction and sharply torn contours. Strokes expand and pinch unpredictably, creating angular hooks, spear-like terminals, and irregular negative spaces that give each glyph a carved, distressed silhouette. Curves are faceted rather than smooth, counters tend to be tight and uneven, and the overall rhythm is energetic with noticeable variation from letter to letter while maintaining a consistent rough texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, cover art, posters, trailers, and promotional graphics where texture and attitude are desired. It works well in horror-leaning themes and loud entertainment branding, but becomes harder to read in long passages or at small sizes due to the dense strokes and irregular edges.
The letterforms project a tense, menacing energy—more frantic than elegant—suggesting danger, noise, and late-night horror atmosphere. Its jagged edges and stabbing terminals read as rebellious and abrasive, giving text a confrontational, suspenseful tone.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, forceful brush lettering that has been distressed into sharp, ragged shapes, prioritizing mood and intensity over clean readability. It aims to deliver immediate dramatic impact and a gritty, fear-tinged personality for display typography.
Caps feel more dominant and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same torn-brush texture with simplified, punchy shapes. Numerals match the aggressive styling, with chunky forms and pointed cuts that keep the set visually cohesive.
