A jagged, hand-cut display face with sharply tapered terminals and irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes show uneven edges and wedge-like joins that create a serrated silhouette, with occasional ink-trap-like notches and small interior cavities. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly unstable, with variable glyph widths and a forward-leaning stance that heightens motion and tension. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and curves are rendered as faceted, clawed arcs rather than smooth rounds, producing a bold, high-impact texture in words.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing display settings such as horror film or podcast titles, haunted-house and Halloween promotions, metal and dark-ambient album artwork, and game logos or chapter headers. It can also work for pull quotes or packaging accents where a distressed, threatening voice is desired, ideally at larger sizes for clarity.
The font projects a horror-leaning, ritualistic mood—more “blade-scratched” than “dripping,” with a tense, predatory energy. Its spiked contours and uneasy cadence read as ominous and supernatural, fitting themes of monsters, curses, and night-time danger. The overall tone is loud and confrontational, designed to feel unsettling rather than refined.
This design appears intended to simulate a scratched, carved, or torn-letter look while remaining legible as a Latin alphabet. The consistent use of spikes, ragged edges, and tapered strokes suggests a deliberate aim for an ominous, high-energy display texture that reads instantly as dark and supernatural.
Uppercase forms are especially angular and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same torn edge language for a cohesive voice in longer lines. Numerals and punctuation keep the same sharpened terminals, helping mixed content retain a consistent, aggressive texture. At smaller sizes the tight counters and busy edges can visually fill in, so it benefits from generous sizing and contrast against simple backgrounds.
