A heavy, distressed display face built from compact, mostly upright letterforms with aggressively irregular outer contours. Strokes appear as solid black masses with eroded edges, random nicks, and occasional spike-like protrusions, creating a torn/decayed silhouette. Counters are uneven and sometimes partially clogged, and curves and terminals break into jagged, organic shapes rather than smooth joins. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing a handmade, degraded rhythm; numerals match the same rough, blotted construction for a consistent set.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications where texture is a feature: horror and Halloween headlines, thriller or occult poster titles, game or streaming key art, and gritty album or event branding. It will perform most convincingly at larger sizes where the distressed contours can be seen clearly and used to build atmosphere.
The font projects an ominous, horror-leaning atmosphere with a gritty, dirty texture—more unsettling and feral than elegant. Its ragged edges and unstable shapes suggest decay, danger, and the kind of distressed ink associated with eerie posters and haunted ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through heavy ink presence and extreme distressing, evoking rot, grime, and ominous energy. Its inconsistent edges and variable widths aim to feel handmade and unpredictable, prioritizing mood and texture over neutral readability.
In the sample text, the dense black color and heavily disrupted outlines create a strong texture across lines, with the distressed edges becoming the dominant visual feature at reading sizes. The irregularity reads as intentional and stylistically consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, rather than isolated “damage” on a few characters.
