A narrow, slanted brush-hand font with sharp, tapering terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges that mimic a dry brush or marker running out of ink. Strokes show medium contrast with frequent pressure-like swelling and sudden thins, producing spiky joins and angular turns rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are compact and tall, with irregular widths and a jittery baseline feel; counters are often tight and partially open, especially in rounded characters. Numerals and capitals keep the same expressive, distressed construction, favoring pointed diagonals and quick, gestural cross-strokes.
Best suited for display uses where atmosphere matters more than long-form readability: horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game or film poster typography, and punchy branding on covers and packaging. It works well when given room to breathe—larger sizes and short phrases let the rough edges and sharp tapers read clearly.
The overall tone is tense and unsettling, like hurried handwriting scratched onto a surface. Its jagged rhythm and ink-ragged texture suggest danger, suspense, and supernatural or horror-adjacent atmosphere rather than friendliness or polish.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, threatening handwritten gesture with a distressed brush texture, creating dramatic energy and an ominous edge for themed display typography.
At text sizes the texture becomes a strong visual feature, with some letters intentionally ambiguous and highly stylized (notably several rounded forms and the more angular capitals). Spacing appears naturally irregular, reinforcing the improvised, hand-drawn character.
