A distressed display face with rough, irregular outlines and chipped, jagged terminals throughout. Strokes feel hand-cut and uneven, with moderate thick–thin shifts and frequent notches that create a torn edge silhouette. Counters are often pinched and asymmetrical, and joints look fractured rather than smoothly drawn, giving the alphabet a restless rhythm. The overall color is dark and noisy on the baseline and cap line, with occasional spur-like protrusions that read as thorns or drips.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title cards, and short burst copy where the rugged contour detail can read clearly. It works well for horror and dark-fantasy branding, event flyers, game titles, and album or book covers that benefit from a raw, unsettling texture. For longer paragraphs, it performs more reliably at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The font projects an ominous, folkloric tone—like weathered lettering carved into wood or scraped into stone. Its rough texture and spiky contours suggest danger, mystery, and a slightly chaotic energy suited to supernatural or haunted themes. The mood is dramatic and sinister without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-made, deteriorated lettering with a deliberately corrupted edge—prioritizing atmosphere over pristine geometry. Consistent roughening across glyphs suggests a controlled distress process aimed at delivering immediate thematic impact in display contexts.
In the sample text, the distressed edges remain prominent at larger sizes and can start to visually fill in at smaller sizes, especially in tighter counters. Spacing appears relatively tight for a display face, so short settings and generous leading help preserve the gritty detail. Numerals and capitals share the same torn, irregular logic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
