A rough, brush-driven display face with sharply tapered terminals and irregular, torn-looking edges. Strokes are heavy with visible wobble and pressure-like modulation, producing pointed spikes and occasional hook forms at ends. The letterforms are condensed and tall, with uneven widths and a restless rhythm; counters are tight and sometimes asymmetrical, and curves often resolve into angular, knife-like points. Numerals follow the same scratchy, inked construction, with simplified shapes and aggressive terminal cuts.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, poster headlines, event flyers, game or stream branding, and packaging where a sinister or supernatural mood is desired. It works especially well when paired with a neutral sans or serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone is ominous and high-energy, evoking hand-painted signage, slashed ink marks, and horror-poster theatrics. Its spiky silhouettes and erratic texture read as tense and unsettling rather than polished or friendly.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering with sharpened ends and controlled chaos, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over typographic neutrality. Its condensed stance and aggressive terminals help create dramatic vertical silhouettes that feel hand-made and theatrical.
Readability holds best at larger sizes where the rough contour and tapering are part of the effect; at small sizes, the narrow proportions and distressed edges can visually fill in. The texture appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping a cohesive “painted” character.
