A jagged, hand-rendered display face with irregular contours and aggressive, spike-like terminals. Strokes appear brushy and slightly fractured, with frequent tapering and hooked corners that create a torn, chiseled silhouette. Letterforms are condensed overall but vary in width and balance from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally unstable rhythm. Counters are often small and uneven, and edges look roughened rather than geometrically crisp, giving the set a gritty, inked texture.
Well-suited for horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, and edgy entertainment graphics where atmosphere is more important than long-form readability. It works especially well for posters, streaming thumbnails, game UI labels, and short headline treatments that benefit from a distressed, threatening texture.
The font projects a menacing, horror-leaning energy—more feral and hand-made than elegant. Its sharp barbs and uneven cadence evoke tension and danger, suggesting haunted signage, occult ephemera, or slasher-era titling. The overall tone is loud and abrasive, with a mischievous, B-movie edge.
The design appears intended to mimic hurried, scratchy brush lettering with sharpened ends and broken edges, prioritizing a frightening, handmade presence over typographic neutrality. Its controlled inconsistency suggests a deliberate effort to create visual unease and a high-impact display voice.
In text settings, the rough outlines and narrow interior spaces make it feel densest at smaller sizes; it reads best when given room to breathe. The numerals and capitals maintain the same spiked, distressed logic as the lowercase, supporting consistent tone across headings and short phrases.
