A distressed display face with jagged, uneven contours and subtly tapered terminals that feel hand-cut or brush-worn. Strokes are moderately contrasted and irregular in width, creating a lively, unstable rhythm across words. Counters tend to be compact and sometimes lopsided, while verticals and diagonals frequently end in sharp points or blunt, torn-looking edges. The overall fit is on the tighter side, with condensed proportions and slightly inconsistent sidebearings that enhance the rough, handmade texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and on-screen titling where the distressed texture can read clearly at larger sizes. It works well for seasonal Halloween graphics, horror and fantasy promotions, and game or podcast branding that benefits from an aged, uncanny voice. For body text, it’s most effective in short phrases or pull quotes where the roughness is a feature rather than a distraction.
The letterforms project an ominous, storybook-horror mood—more cursed parchment and midnight folklore than glossy cinematic scares. Its wavering outlines and thorny terminals add tension and unease, giving headlines a haunted, ritualistic tone.
The design appears intended to simulate handmade, worn lettering with controlled irregularity—delivering a spooky, antiqued texture while keeping forms recognizable enough for bold display use. Its condensed stance and consistent distressing suggest it was drawn to create strong atmosphere quickly in titles and thematic branding.
In longer lines the texture becomes a prominent pattern, with frequent notches and irregular shoulders that read as intentional aging or abrasion. Numerals and capitals maintain the same distressed logic, keeping the set visually consistent for titling and short bursts of copy.
