A jagged, distressed serif with heavily eroded outlines and uneven, torn-looking contours throughout. Strokes feel ink-heavy yet irregular, with sharp nicks, spikes, and occasional blobby buildups that make the counters and terminals look chipped away. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a slightly inconsistent rhythm across glyphs that reads as intentionally rough rather than engineered smoothness. The sample text shows a lively, broken edge texture that stays consistent at display sizes, creating a noisy silhouette and strong texture in paragraphs.
Works best for display typography where atmosphere is the priority: horror and Halloween promotions, thriller titles, haunted attraction signage, game and film branding, and gritty poster headlines. It can also add dramatic texture to short pull quotes or packaging marks, but the aggressive distressing is likely too busy for extended small-size body text.
The overall tone is grim and unsettling, like worn printing pulled from an old poster, cursed manuscript, or B‑movie title card. Its rough edges and thorny terminals push the voice toward horror, occult, and haunted-house theatrics, with a gritty DIY intensity.
The design appears intended to simulate degraded, torn, or corroded lettering while retaining the recognizable skeleton of a traditional serif. Its consistent edge damage and spiky terminals suggest a deliberate aim to deliver instant genre signaling and high-impact texture in headlines.
Uppercase forms hold a bold, carved presence while lowercase maintains the same distressed bite, keeping the texture coherent across mixed-case settings. The figures are similarly rugged and punchy, suited to short strings where the uneven edges can be a feature rather than a distraction.
