A jagged, hand-drawn display face built from sharply angled strokes and pointed terminals, with a felt-marker/brush-like taper that creates lively dark–light rhythm. Counters are often diamond-like or triangular, and many letters lean on fractured geometry rather than smooth curves, producing a rune-adjacent silhouette. Stroke edges are intentionally uneven, with subtle wobble and slight overshoots that reinforce an organic, improvised construction. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving text a restless, irregular texture.
Best suited for short-form display work where its angular texture can drive atmosphere: horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, game interfaces and splash screens, band/venue posters, and thematic packaging. Use at larger sizes to preserve the crisp points and distinctive counters, and pair with a quieter text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is ominous and arcane, evoking scratched symbols, improvised signage, and occult or mythic lettering. Its sharp points and abrupt direction changes add tension, while the hand-made inconsistency keeps it gritty and unsettling rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly atmospheric, symbol-scratched look that reads like hastily carved or painted lettering. Its controlled irregularity and pointed terminals suggest a focus on mood and immediacy over typographic neutrality.
In continuous text, the aggressive diagonals and open, angular bowls keep words recognizable but highly stylized, with standout shapes in letters like A, G, Q, and S. Numerals match the same spiked, cut-in construction, maintaining a cohesive voice for posters and titling.
