A jagged, inked display face with irregular stroke edges and frequent pointed terminals that create a torn, clawed silhouette. Stems are generally stout but vary subtly in thickness, with chiseled contours and uneven bowls that feel carved rather than constructed. The rhythm is tight and vertically driven, with compact counters and occasional asymmetric joints that add a restless texture. Numerals and lowercase echo the same roughened, tapered treatment, keeping the set visually consistent while maintaining a handmade, distressed finish.
This font suits short, high-impact settings such as horror or thriller titling, Halloween promotions, game and streaming artwork, and distressed branding moments that want an eerie edge. It also works well for packaging, stickers, and social graphics where a rough, hand-inked scream is desirable over clean readability.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical—more haunted-house poster than classic gothic. Its spurs, spikes, and ragged contours evoke horror titles, occult ephemera, and monster-movie energy, reading as intentionally rough and unsettling rather than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive terminals and distressed outlines, creating a spooky, hand-rendered look that feels stamped, scratched, or painted in haste. Consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests it’s built for cohesive display typography rather than subtle text work.
The texture is strong even at moderate sizes, so the face reads as a solid dark mass with lively edge noise. Because the contours are highly irregular, letterforms can feel intentionally unstable in long passages; it performs best when the distressed personality is allowed to be the main visual feature.
