A condensed, forward-slanted display face drawn with a dry-brush, ink-on-paper feel. Strokes are high-contrast and sharply tapered, with pointed terminals and occasional burrs that read as scratchy texture rather than clean outlines. Letterforms are angular and energetic, with irregular stroke widths and subtly uneven contours that create a hand-rendered rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height and quick, flicking ascenders/descenders, while capitals stay narrow and tall with dramatic diagonals and hooked finishes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where the rough brush texture and sharp tapers can stay prominent—film and game titling, horror posters, Halloween campaigns, event flyers, and dramatic packaging or album artwork. It can also work as an accent font for pull quotes or chapter heads when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is tense and menacing, like hurried lettering cut with a knife or painted in thick ink for a warning sign. Its scratchy edges and sharp terminals evoke horror and occult poster tropes, leaning toward panic, danger, and late-night thriller atmospheres rather than polished calligraphy.
This design appears intended to simulate fast, fear-tinged brush lettering with controlled chaos: condensed proportions for intensity, strong slant for urgency, and jagged, tapered terminals to amplify a threatening, supernatural mood.
The texture is consistent across the set, with many terminals ending in needle-like points and some counters feeling tight due to the condensed build. Numerals follow the same slanted, brush-cut logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for titling. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a way that enhances the hand-drawn effect, especially in longer lines of text.
