A sharply angular, brush-like display face with aggressive wedge terminals and knife-point tapers throughout. Strokes swing in an italic, forward-leaning rhythm, alternating between broad, flat cuts and hairline flicks that create a serrated silhouette. Counters are often small and faceted, with many letters built from slanted, broken-looking joins that emphasize motion and tension. Uppercase forms read as runic and weaponized, while lowercase keeps a compact, short-bodied profile with similarly jagged detailing and uneven, hand-drawn spacing.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror or thriller titles, poster headlines, album art, game logos, and Halloween/event promotions where a jagged silhouette is an advantage. It can work for pull quotes or packaging accents when set with generous spacing, but is less suited to long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects a tense, ominous energy—part ritual inscription, part slashed marker stroke. Its spines and abrupt cuts feel hostile and theatrical, suggesting danger, secrecy, and supernatural drama. The overall tone is loud and confrontational, designed to look unsettling rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-rendered, blade-cut or brush-slashed inscription, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over smooth regularity. Its forward slant, spiked terminals, and fractured geometry are tuned to deliver an unmistakably ominous, dramatic voice.
The texture is intentionally irregular: edges feel carved or torn, and many glyphs rely on long diagonal strokes that make line color lively but unpredictable. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same spear-like terminals, keeping the mood consistent across mixed content, though dense paragraphs can become visually busy.
