A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with aggressively jagged contours and chiseled, torn-looking terminals. Strokes are predominantly blocky and angular, with irregular bite marks, spikes, and notches that break the silhouette and create a restless edge texture. Counters are fairly compact and geometric, while curves are faceted rather than smooth, giving letters a carved, cut-paper feel. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a dense, high-impact color on the line.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed posters, game title screens, haunted attraction branding, and punchy social graphics. It works well where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability, especially at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking haunted-house signage and horror titles with a slightly tongue-in-cheek, pulp sensibility. Its sharp, splintered details read as threatening and energetic rather than elegant, leaning into shock and spectacle.
Designed to deliver an instantly recognizable horror mood through exaggerated weight, torn silhouettes, and sharp, irregular terminals, while maintaining enough structure to remain legible in display settings. The consistent distress treatment across letters and numbers suggests a focus on cohesive, ready-to-use themed typography for headlines and branding moments.
The font’s irregular perimeter creates strong character at headline sizes, but the spiky detail and tight interior spaces can reduce clarity as sizes drop. The mix of broken edges and faceted curves gives it a hand-cut, distressed rhythm that stays consistent across the set.
