A condensed, hand-rendered display face with sharp, tapering strokes and visibly uneven outlines. Letterforms feel brush-drawn with ragged edges, pinched joints, and occasional hook-like terminals that create a prickly silhouette. Strokes alternate between thicker blobs and thin, scratchy hairlines, giving a rough, organic rhythm; curves are slightly irregular and counters are tight, especially in narrow uppercase shapes. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, distressed construction while remaining legible in short runs.
Best suited for horror-leaning titles and short display settings such as posters, teaser graphics, streaming thumbnails, album artwork, or game menus where a rough, unsettling texture is desirable. It can also work for Halloween promotions and haunted-attraction signage, especially when set large to let the ragged edges and tapered spikes read clearly.
The font projects a tense, eerie tone—more frantic scrawl than polished calligraphy. Its spines, hooks, and scratch marks suggest menace and suspense, with an energetic, handmade intensity that reads as occult, haunted, and confrontational.
The design appears intended to mimic hurried brush lettering with distressed, clawed terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over typographic refinement. Its condensed build and aggressive texture aim to deliver immediate genre signaling for dark, suspenseful themes.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions and jagged stroke endings create strong texture across a line, with pronounced vertical emphasis. The numerals share the same scratchy, tapered construction, helping headlines and short callouts keep a consistent, gritty voice.
