A heavy, slanted display face with brush-like construction and visibly irregular contours. Strokes swell and taper abruptly, with rough, torn-looking edges and occasional spike-like terminals that create a scratchy silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, while verticals and diagonals feel hand-drawn rather than geometric, giving the alphabet a restless rhythm. Uppercase forms are more dominant and gestural, while lowercase stays compact with simple, inked shapes and lively entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same bold, uneven brush logic.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween promotions, game or streaming cover art, and attention-grabbing poster headlines. It can also add bite to logos or package labels where a hand-inked, suspenseful tone is desired, especially when used at display sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is tense and ominous, combining handmade urgency with a gritty, horror-leaning edge. Its ragged ink traps and sharp tapers suggest danger, mystery, and late-night pulp aesthetics, reading as dramatic rather than friendly or refined.
Designed to deliver instant atmosphere through aggressive brush strokes, rough edges, and dramatic tapering—prioritizing mood and punch over neutrality. The letterforms aim to feel hand-painted and slightly uncontrolled, reinforcing a sense of unease and cinematic tension.
Texture is built into the outlines rather than through shading, so the “distressed” character remains present at any size. The strong slant and irregular widths increase motion and impact, but also make long passages feel deliberately unruly.
