A distressed, serifed display face with uneven, hand-cut-looking outlines and visibly irregular stroke edges. The letterforms keep an upright skeleton but vary in width and contour from glyph to glyph, giving a lively, unsettled rhythm. Strokes appear brushy and blotted in places, with softened corners, occasional nicks, and rough interior counters (notably in round forms), mimicking worn printing or ink spread. Serifs are present but inconsistent and broken, contributing to the aged, handmade character rather than a precise calligraphic model.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: horror or mystery titles, Halloween and event posters, book/album covers, packaging accents, and themed UI or splash screens for games. It can work for pull quotes or section headers, but the distressed edges make it less appropriate for long-form body text.
The overall tone feels spooky and timeworn, evoking old posters, folklore ephemera, or low-fi horror titling. Its rough texture reads as gritty and atmospheric, with a slightly playful, storybook creepiness rather than sleek menace.
The design appears intended to deliver an aged, imperfect print/handmade aesthetic while retaining broadly familiar serif structures for readability. Its controlled irregularity suggests a deliberate “worn artifact” look aimed at atmospheric, themed typography rather than neutral text setting.
In the sample text, the textured edges remain prominent at larger sizes and can begin to fill in visually in tighter areas, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed treatment, keeping the voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
