A jagged display face built from fractured, tapering strokes with sharp terminals and irregular, torn-looking edges. The silhouette is heavy and dark, with noticeable stroke modulation and abrupt breaks that create a distressed, carved impression. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact proportions and a slightly uneven rhythm, as if cut by hand; curves are chiseled into angular segments, and counters tend to be tight and dark. Numerals and lowercase follow the same thorny, weathered logic, keeping the overall texture consistent across the set.
Well suited to horror and thriller titles, Halloween and seasonal promotions, haunted-house or escape-room branding, and game/UI moments that need a scary accent. It works especially well for posters, cover art, and large headlines where the jagged outlines and distressed texture can be appreciated.
The font projects an ominous, haunted tone—like scratched signage, horror titling, or cursed lettering. Its spines, nicks, and knife-like terminals create tension and urgency, giving words a theatrical, unsettling presence. The distressed texture reads as aged, hostile, and intentionally unrefined.
The design appears aimed at delivering immediate genre signaling through aggressive, spiked silhouettes and deliberate distress. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact over neutrality, creating a cinematic headline voice that feels carved, cursed, and unsteady.
At text sizes the rough perimeter and dense interiors create strong visual noise, so it reads best when given room and contrast. The irregular edges and varied stroke endings produce a lively, flickering texture in lines of copy, favoring short bursts over long passages.
