A distressed display face with irregular, chiseled-looking strokes and sharp, thorny terminals. Vertical stems are tall and slightly wavering, with frequent notches and nicks that create a rough silhouette. Curves are pinched and uneven, counters are somewhat tight, and many letters end in tapered points that read like drips or claws. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-cut, unstable rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric build.
Well suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, and dark-fantasy packaging. It can also work for game menus, chapter headers, and event posters where an eerie, handcrafted texture is desired. Avoid long body text or very small sizes, where the irregular edges may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror signage, haunted-house ephemera, and dark fantasy titles. Its ragged edges and spiky endings create tension and a sense of unease, while the upright posture keeps it legible enough to feel like intentionally crafted lettering rather than pure chaos.
The design intent appears to be an expressive, horror-leaning display font that mimics rough hand-inked or carved lettering. Its controlled upright structure provides recognizable letterforms, while the distressed spikes and tapers supply the thematic bite and atmosphere.
Uppercase forms feel more monolithic and poster-like, while lowercase introduces more quirky, storybook irregularity. Numerals carry the same tapered, jagged detailing, making the set visually consistent for headings that mix text and numbers. Best results come from generous tracking and moderate sizes where the distressed texture can be read without filling in.
