A condensed display face built from sharp, fractured strokes and irregular, torn-looking edges. Stems and bowls feel chiseled rather than drawn, with abrupt notches, thorn-like terminals, and occasional fangy interior counters that create a restless texture. The rhythm is intentionally uneven from letter to letter, and the numerals follow the same aggressive, broken contouring, keeping the set visually consistent at headline sizes.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween event promotion, haunted-attraction signage, game logos, and album or podcast cover art. It works best in larger sizes for headlines, where the torn edges and spiky terminals read clearly and contribute to the intended atmosphere.
The font projects a classic horror mood—tense, threatening, and theatrical. Its serrated silhouettes and spiked terminals evoke danger and suspense, reading like scraped paint or carved markings rather than polite typography.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive, carved-looking letterforms and a deliberately distressed surface. Its narrow, vertical emphasis supports compact headline setting while the jagged detailing supplies the theatrical, unsettling tone.
Because the distressed detailing is frequent and high-contrast against the background, the texture can visually fill in at small sizes or in dense settings; it performs best when given breathing room. The most distinctive character comes from its angular terminals and the consistent use of nicks and gouges along otherwise straight strokes.
