This font uses thick, irregular strokes with sharply frayed edges and chipped contours, creating a distressed silhouette throughout. Forms are generally upright with compact proportions, and the stroke weight varies within each letter as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Terminals often come to points or rough hooks, and counters are uneven, reinforcing an organic, handmade rhythm. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall texture reads dark and dense on the line.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desired, such as horror or thriller titles, event posters, album/mixtape artwork, game UI headings, and seasonal Halloween graphics. It works well for short phrases, logos, and headline treatments where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels eerie and gritty, with a theatrical, horror-adjacent energy. Its rough, ink-splattered edges suggest decay, noise, and handmade imperfection, giving text a tense, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-rendered lettering with deliberately degraded edges, combining bold mass with distressed detail to create an expressive, ominous display voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed treatment, and the numerals match the jagged, weathered texture for consistent display use. The irregular outlines create a strong pattern at larger sizes, but the many rough details can visually fill in at small sizes.
