A sharply angular, slanted display face with heavy strokes and abrupt, chiseled terminals. Forms are built from faceted curves and knife-like diagonals, with frequent diamond-shaped counters and cut-in notches that create a fractured silhouette. Stroke endings often taper into points or hard corners rather than smooth rounds, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, giving lines of text a tense, hand-made motion. Spacing and widths vary noticeably between glyphs, reinforcing an organic, carved look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and thriller titling, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, game titles or UI labels, and punchy poster or cover headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where an aggressive, fractured texture is desirable, especially at larger sizes where the angular detailing stays legible.
The letterforms project a dark, hostile energy—more carved-runic than calligraphic—suggesting danger, occult theatrics, and late-night horror signage. Its jagged edges and splintered counters create a sense of agitation and suspense, making the tone feel ominous and confrontational rather than friendly or nostalgic.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-cut, weapon-sharp texture—like letters carved into stone or scratched into painted signage—while retaining enough structure for readable headline typography. The consistent use of facets, pointed terminals, and diamond-like counters suggests a deliberate thematic system rather than random distressing.
Distinctive diamond counters appear in multiple glyphs and numerals, acting as a recurring motif that reads like cutouts or gem-like holes. The figures and capitals keep the same shard-like construction as the lowercase, which helps maintain a consistent voice across headings and short lines.
