A jagged, brush-driven display face with aggressive wedge-like terminals, abrupt stroke endings, and frequent ink-taper flicks. Letterforms mix thick, blotted masses with hairline slashes, creating a lively, uneven rhythm and a hand-made, gouged texture. Curves are often open and clawed rather than smooth, and many glyphs show slight asymmetry and irregular proportions that emphasize a raw, gestural construction. Numerals and punctuation echo the same sharp hooks and tapered exits, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed text.
Best suited to large display settings where its sharp tapers and blotty texture can read clearly—posters, title cards, packaging, and key art for horror, thriller, or dark-fantasy themes. It works well for short headlines, logos, and dramatic pull quotes rather than dense body copy.
The font projects an ominous, horror-forward tone—like scratched signage, cursed lettering, or ink dragged into spikes. Its restless contrast and ragged edges suggest danger and instability, giving words a theatrical, unsettling presence.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, forceful brush lettering with intentional roughness—combining heavy ink deposits with razor-like flicks to create a threatening, supernatural atmosphere while remaining legible in headline use.
The sample text shows strong word-shape character but a deliberately unruly baseline feel, with some glyphs appearing more compressed or more extended than their neighbors. Interior counters are often tight or partially closed by heavy brush buildup, which increases darkness and texture at larger sizes.
