A rough brush display face with jagged contours and frequent tapered terminals that read like torn ink or subtle drips. Strokes are heavy and uneven, with irregular edges and a slightly forward-leaning, handwritten construction. Letterforms are compact with lively width fluctuations and variable stroke thickness, creating a restless texture across words. Counters are often tight and angular, and joins can look notched or splintered, reinforcing the distressed, hand-painted feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, headers, and logos for horror-themed projects. It works well on posters, album/cover art, game or film key art, and seasonal promotions where a gritty, hand-rendered voice is desired. Use generous sizing and spacing to preserve the serrated edges and inky terminals.
The overall tone is tense and ominous, evoking horror poster lettering, haunted-house signage, and scratchy scrawls. Its raw, inky rhythm feels urgent and unpolished, leaning into a menacing, creature-feature energy rather than clean typography.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, heavy brush lettering with intentionally distressed edges, producing an unsettling, cinematic texture. Its emphasis is on mood and impact over neutrality, aiming for instantly recognizable, creepy display typography.
In the sample text, the irregular baselines and inconsistent stroke endings create a strong dark mass at larger sizes. The distressed detailing becomes less distinct when reduced, so the font’s character is most apparent when given room to breathe and ample contrast against the background.
