A rough-hewn display face with heavy, irregular strokes and jagged terminals that create a carved, torn-paper silhouette. Letterforms lean on blackletter-like construction—broken curves, angular joins, and wedge-like feet—while keeping simplified shapes and open counters for quick recognition. Stroke edges are deliberately uneven, with chiseled notches and asymmetries that make each glyph feel hand-cut rather than mechanically precise. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, giving lines a lurching, animated rhythm.
Ideal for headlines and short bursts of copy on posters, titles, packaging, and event graphics where a spooky, hand-hewn texture is desired. It works especially well for Halloween promotions, horror and fantasy projects, and themed signage, and can also add character to game UI labels and splash screens when used at display sizes.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, evoking haunted signage and spellbook typography without becoming overly ornate. Its rough texture reads as ominous but also slightly whimsical, making it suitable for horror with a tongue-in-cheek edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable horror-flavored voice by combining blackletter-inspired structure with distressed, jagged contours. Its variable widths and uneven edges prioritize atmosphere and texture over smooth readability, aiming to feel handmade and menacing.
In text samples, the irregular outlines and sharp protrusions create strong texture and high visual noise, so the font reads best at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with consistent pointed terminals and chunky, uneven bowls that reinforce the distressed theme.
