A rough-edged display face with heavy, inky strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms are built from sharp notches, torn-looking terminals, and uneven interior counters that create a distressed silhouette. Stems and bowls vary noticeably in thickness, producing a stark light–dark rhythm, while overall proportions feel loose and slightly right-leaning with inconsistent widths across glyphs. The texture reads like gouged or eroded blackletter-adjacent shapes, prioritizing character over smooth geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like headlines, titles, and punchy callouts where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It works well on posters, packaging, and entertainment branding that benefits from a spooky or chaotic tone, and is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font conveys a spooky, unruly energy—part haunted-poster theatrics, part mischievous punk grit. Its ragged outlines and high drama suggest horror, Halloween, and campy menace, with an intentionally unrefined, hand-wrecked attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate theatrical impact through deliberate irregularity and distressed, cut-in outlines. Rather than aiming for typographic neutrality, it emphasizes a gnarly, hand-damaged texture that turns each glyph into a graphic shape for expressive display typography.
At text sizes the interior breakups and serrated edges become the dominant feature, so spacing and word shape can feel busy. Numerals and uppercase carry the strongest presence; lowercase remains expressive but can look more fragmented due to the distressing and narrow joins.
