A distressed display face with heavy black silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes appear torn and eroded, with frequent spikes, nicks, and drip-like terminals that create a jagged perimeter rather than clean curves. Counters are uneven and sometimes pinched, and the overall rhythm is intentionally unstable, producing a rough, hand-worn texture across words. Capital forms read as condensed, with tight internal spacing and assertive vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains similar rugged modulation for consistent color in text lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, game or streaming thumbnails, and album or book covers that need an immediate eerie punch. It also works well for labels, chapter heads, and pull quotes where texture and atmosphere matter more than extended readability.
The font projects a horror-forward tone that feels ominous and unclean, like letters cut from decayed paper or scraped onto a surface. Its sharp protrusions and melting edges suggest danger, suspense, and supernatural themes, lending an immediate sense of threat and theatrical fright.
Designed to deliver instant genre signaling through a consistent distressed silhouette language—spikes, gouges, and drip-like terminals—while keeping familiar letter structures so words remain recognizable. The goal appears to be a dramatic, poster-ready texture that reads as unsettling even before the text is parsed.
The distressed edge treatment is pervasive enough that it becomes the primary stylistic voice, so legibility improves most at larger sizes where the spurs and drips resolve clearly. Numerals match the same battered geometry, keeping headlines and short callouts visually coherent when mixing letters and figures.
