A heavy display face with compact proportions and irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear in feel, but the edges break into jagged notches and occasional drip-like terminals that create a silhouette-first read. Counters are uneven and sometimes pinched, with blunt joins and lumpy curves that keep the texture lively across words. The uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed, hand-gnawed construction, and the numerals follow suit with rough, chipped outlines.
Well suited to headlines and short bursts of text for horror-themed posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, game or film title cards, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for packaging or signage where a grimy, distressed mood is desired and large sizes preserve the ragged detail.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror signage and haunted-house graphics rather than quiet dread. Its rough inked edges and drippy cuts suggest something decayed, cursed, or freshly stenciled in the dark, giving it an intentionally unruly, attention-grabbing energy.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror cue through distressed silhouettes—mixing blunt, blocky construction with drips and torn edges to mimic decay, gore, or weathered paint. Consistent roughness across letters and figures prioritizes atmosphere and impact over refinement.
Spacing appears slightly irregular by design, and the distressed perimeter creates a vibrating texture in longer lines. The font reads best when the silhouettes are allowed to dominate; at smaller sizes the interior nicks and tears may visually fill in.
