A heavy display serif with an intentionally distressed, blotted finish. Letterforms are built from chunky stems and rounded, bracket-like serifs, but the outlines are aggressively roughened with chips, splatter specks, and uneven edges that create a worn, ink-soaked texture. Counters stay mostly open despite the weight, while terminals and shoulders show frequent nicks and irregular tapering. The overall rhythm is sturdy and upright, with enough irregularity in the contours to keep the texture active across words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: poster headlines, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, horror/pulp book or film titling, and themed packaging or labels. It works well when you want strong silhouettes with a dirty, printed-on-rough-paper feel, especially at larger display sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The tone feels ominous and theatrical—like aged print pulled from a haunted poster or a pulpy, midnight handbill. Its messy ink texture and battered edges suggest decay, grit, and suspense, leaning into an old-world horror vibe rather than sleek modern fear.
The design appears intended to evoke a bold, old-print display serif that’s been weathered—like ink that bled, cracked, and flaked over time. By combining sturdy classic proportions with heavy distressing and speckled artifacts, it aims to deliver immediate atmosphere and narrative texture in a single layer of type.
In the sample text, the distressed detail reads as a consistent surface treatment rather than random noise, producing a peppered silhouette that becomes more prominent as sizes get smaller. The numerals and capitals maintain a cohesive, poster-like presence, with the texture giving repeated letters slightly different visual “wear” from glyph to glyph.
