A condensed, slanted display face with heavy, compact forms and consistently rough, irregular edges. Strokes feel brushy and ink-loaded, with jagged contours and slight wobble that suggest an intentionally distressed imprint rather than clean vector geometry. Counters are tight and sometimes uneven, terminals are blunt or torn-looking, and the overall rhythm is bouncy due to varied character widths and subtly inconsistent stroke endings. Numerals and capitals carry the same rugged texture, keeping the set visually unified.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as titles, headers, and poster typography where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It suits horror-leaning packaging, haunted attraction or Halloween promotions, game/film key art, and any branding that benefits from a gritty, unsettling voice. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The texture and narrow, leaning silhouettes create an anxious, haunted tone—more gritty and handcrafted than polished or cinematic. It reads like weathered signage or a smudged print, giving text a tense, unsettling energy suited to ominous or macabre themes.
Designed to deliver an immediate horror-tinged impression through condensed, slanted forms and aggressively distressed outlines. The goal appears to be a handcrafted, worn print effect that adds atmosphere and tension while staying readable in headline use.
Spacing appears relatively tight, and the heavy texture can close up in small sizes, especially in rounded letters and enclosed forms. The strongest impact comes from larger settings where the distressed edges and irregular stroke behavior remain legible and intentional.
