A rough, hand-rendered display face with heavy black strokes and intentionally irregular contours. Letterforms are narrow-to-medium in proportion with noticeable variance in character widths, and strokes often end in sharp, tapered tips or blunt, brushy terminals. Edges are jagged and slightly wavy, creating a torn-ink silhouette rather than clean geometry; counters are compact and uneven, with occasional hooked or droplet-like details. Overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, emphasizing texture and gesture over typographic polish.
Best suited to display sizes where its ragged edges and tapering can remain crisp and expressive—such as posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and event promo graphics. It can also work well for game or streaming overlays when used sparingly for emphasis, especially in spooky or suspense-themed contexts.
The texture and pointed terminals give the font an eerie, unsettling tone with a B-movie horror energy. Its rough brush/ink feel reads handmade and slightly chaotic, balancing menace with a playful, campy edge.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with distressed edges, delivering an atmospheric, unsettling voice for themed display typography. Its irregular rhythm and sharp terminals prioritize mood and impact over neutrality and long-form readability.
The all-caps set feels tall and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase maintains the same ragged brush character for cohesive mixed-case settings. Numerals share the same irregular weight distribution and tapered finishing, helping headings and short callouts stay stylistically consistent.
