A condensed display face with tall, compact proportions and heavy vertical emphasis. Letterforms are built from thick, high-contrast strokes with irregular, broken contours—edges look chipped and worn, as if the ink has been scraped away. Terminals are blunt and uneven, counters are tight and sometimes partially occluded by distressing, and curves appear slightly pinched or flattened. Overall spacing is fairly tight, producing dense, dark text color with a jittery, handmade texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror-themed headlines, titles, posters, packaging accents, and entertainment graphics. It works well when a distressed, threatening texture is desired and when set with extra tracking or generous leading to keep counters from clogging in smaller applications.
The distressed silhouettes and uneven interiors create an ominous, gritty tone reminiscent of aged signage, scratched print, or battered stenciling. Its compact, dark rhythm reads as tense and aggressive, lending a sense of suspense and unease.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, forceful display voice while adding atmosphere through deliberate erosion and irregular edges. The consistent condensed skeleton keeps words readable at headline sizes, while the distressed detailing supplies narrative character and tension.
The texture varies from glyph to glyph, with visible voids and nicks that become more prominent at larger sizes. Some characters develop near-merges in tight areas, so legibility depends on size, tracking, and background contrast.
