A jagged, brush-like display face with thick, inky strokes and sharply tapered terminals that form spikes and hook-like endings. Letterforms lean subtly backward and feel hand-drawn, with irregular contour wobble and uneven stroke edges that read like dry-brush or marker drag. Proportions are compact and tall, with simplified bowls and angular joins; counters stay fairly open but are frequently pinched or notched by abrupt cuts. The set maintains a consistent horror-gesture across caps, lowercase, and numerals while preserving enough structure to keep characters recognizable.
Best suited to large sizes where its spiky terminals and brush texture can read clearly—titles, posters, packaging accents, and punchy on-screen headings. It works particularly well for horror, thriller, dark-fantasy, and Halloween-themed materials, and as a secondary display voice paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is eerie and aggressive, mixing a DIY hand-lettered energy with a slasher-poster intensity. Its scratchy silhouettes and thorny terminals create tension and unease, suggesting danger, darkness, and the supernatural.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, expressive hand lettering with intentionally rough edges and dramatic tapers, optimized for creating immediate atmosphere rather than typographic neutrality. It aims to deliver a high-impact, unsettling headline texture that signals genre at a glance.
Texture is a defining feature: many strokes end in fine points or small flares, and several glyphs show intentional roughness that gives the face a distressed, organic feel. Spacing and rhythm are lively and uneven in a way that enhances the unsettling voice, especially in all-caps headlines and short bursts of text.
