A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, eroded contours and a soft, blobby silhouette. Strokes appear as if applied with a loaded brush or cut from torn paper, producing jagged edges, drips, and nicks that vary from glyph to glyph. Counters are small and often partially pinched, while terminals end abruptly with ragged texture rather than clean geometry. The overall rhythm is deliberately uneven, emphasizing texture and silhouette over precision.
Best used for high-impact display settings such as posters, event flyers, and punchy headlines where the distressed silhouette can be read at a glance. It fits especially well in spooky or comedic-horror contexts, including Halloween graphics, themed packaging, game or zine titles, and expressive album or merch typography.
The letterforms read as mischievous and slightly ominous, combining a comic-book looseness with a distressed, horror-leaning edge. The rough texture gives it a handmade, messy energy that feels theatrical and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver instant personality through an intentionally battered, hand-made texture, trading typographic neutrality for a loud, characterful silhouette. Its irregular edges and compressed counters suggest a focus on mood and visual noise—ideal for decorative statements and playful shock value.
Capitals are compact and chunky, and the lowercase keeps a similarly dense color with simplified shapes that prioritize impact. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, maintaining consistency across the set. Because the texture is integral to the forms, fine details can close up at smaller sizes, making this better suited to bold, short bursts of text.
