A distressed display face with heavy, compact letterforms and jagged, eroded contours. Strokes show abrupt flares and chiseled terminals, with frequent pits, nicks, and small ink-like voids that create a worn, stamped impression. Counters are generally tight and irregular, and the silhouette varies from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, handmade rhythm while maintaining a consistent upright structure. The texture reads as deliberate weathering—spatter and breakup around stems, bowls, and serifs—giving each character a rough, gritty edge.
Well-suited for horror and Halloween headlines, film or game title treatments, event posters, and album/playlist artwork. It also fits distressed branding moments such as haunted attractions, spooky packaging callouts, or retro-styled warning labels where texture is a feature, not a flaw.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking aged signage, gothic props, and horror title cards. Its distressed texture and uneven bite marks add tension and unease, while the chunky proportions keep it readable enough to feel like a bold, poster-ready scare rather than delicate calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate eerie impact by combining sturdy, upright letter skeletons with aggressive wear, drips, and chipped edges. The consistent distress motif suggests a focus on atmosphere—simulating ink bleed, decay, and rough printing to create a gritty, haunted visual voice.
In text settings, the speckled degradation becomes a prominent secondary pattern, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous breathing room. The most convincing results come at medium-to-large sizes where the interior erosion reads as intentional texture rather than noise.
