A jagged, hand-drawn display face with sharply angled strokes and irregular, chipped-looking terminals. Letterforms lean forward with a lively, uneven rhythm, mixing straight slashes with abrupt corners and occasional hook-like flicks. Strokes show noticeable variation from thick wedges to thin, scratchy connections, and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an unstable, improvised feel. Counters are often tight and faceted, and the overall texture reads as torn brush or carved mark-making rather than geometric construction.
Well-suited for horror and thriller titling, game and streaming key art, haunted event promotions, and album/merch graphics where a sharp, unsettling voice is desired. It also works as an accent font for short phrases on packaging or social posts, paired with a calmer text face for longer copy.
The font conveys an ominous, occult-leaning energy—tense, aggressive, and slightly chaotic. Its spiky silhouettes and rough edges suggest danger and suspense, lending a ritualistic or supernatural tone without relying on drips or gooey effects. The forward slant and harsh angles amplify urgency and unease.
The design appears intended to mimic frantic brush marks or rough carving, prioritizing dramatic silhouettes and a distressed, angular texture over smooth typographic regularity. Its forward-leaning stance and variable letter widths aim to create motion and unease, making it a strong thematic display choice.
Readability is strongest at headline sizes where the serrated edges and fractured joins can be appreciated; in dense text the irregular spacing and narrow apertures may reduce clarity. Numerals carry the same cut, shard-like styling, keeping the set visually consistent for titling and poster-style layouts.
