A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly ragged contours. Letterforms are built from narrow verticals and tight interior spaces, with chiseled-looking edges and frequent nicks that create a distressed silhouette. Curves are slightly lumpy rather than geometric, and joins often pinch or bulge, producing a jittery rhythm across words. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and the overall texture reads as dark and inky at text sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is a feature: posters, titles, packaging, and promotional graphics for horror, Halloween, and dark-themed events. It also works well for game UI headings or chapter cards when you want a gritty, unsettling voice; for readability, reserve it for larger sizes and avoid long body copy.
The font projects a haunted, unsettling tone—more gritty than playful—evoking decay, grime, and handmade lettering from horror ephemera. Its restless outlines and compressed stance create tension and urgency, giving headlines an ominous, claustrophobic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror-leaning impact through condensed proportions and aggressively distressed edges, simulating worn ink or carved, weathered lettering. Its consistent rough texture suggests a focus on atmosphere and title treatment over neutrality or continuous reading comfort.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent roughened treatment, with lowercase forms staying fairly upright and compact. Numerals follow the same narrow, distressed construction, maintaining a strong, unified texture across alphanumerics.
