A heavy display face built from compact, vertical forms with irregular, jagged contours. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but edges are aggressively distressed with sharp spikes, notches, and occasional drip-like terminals that create a torn-paper silhouette. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and several joins look chiseled rather than smoothly curved, producing a tense, scratchy rhythm across words. Capital shapes read as simplified blackletter-inspired blocks, while lowercase follows the same texture with slightly softer, more varied outlines; numerals share the same rugged treatment for consistent tone.
Best suited for short display applications where the distressed silhouette can read clearly—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and seasonal or horror-themed promotions. It works well for game/film naming, haunted attraction branding, and punchy headers where an ominous, textured voice is desired.
The font projects a spooky, horror-leaning tone that feels theatrical rather than subtle—equal parts haunted-house poster and midnight creature-feature. Its serrated edges and dripping details suggest menace, decay, and dark whimsy, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable horror atmosphere through a bold, compact structure combined with exaggerated ragged edges and drip-like terminals. It prioritizes mood, texture, and impact over neutrality, aiming to evoke classic spooky signage and genre title treatments.
Texture is the dominant feature: the deliberate roughness creates strong character at large sizes, but the tight counters and busy edges can reduce clarity in dense settings. The sample text shows a lively, uneven sparkle where spikes and drips interrupt the baseline and cap line, adding motion and grit.
