A distressed display face with jagged, eroded outlines and frequent drip-like terminals that create a ragged silhouette. Strokes are irregular and high-contrast in places, with sharp notches, splintered corners, and uneven joins that feel deliberately broken rather than geometric. Proportions are generally condensed with tall, narrow forms; counters are tight and sometimes pinched, giving letters a compact, tense rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a hand-cut, torn-ink look that reads best at larger sizes.
Well-suited for short, high-impact text such as horror film titles, event posters, Halloween promotions, and game or streaming thumbnails. It also works for album/merch graphics and chapter headings where a rough, unsettling texture is desirable, but is less appropriate for small UI text or long reading passages.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror titles, haunted-house signage, and eerie supernatural narratives. Its distressed drips and spikes suggest decay, danger, and suspense, pushing the voice toward the macabre rather than playful.
The design intent appears to be delivering an instantly recognizable horror mood through aggressive silhouettes, drip-like terminals, and distressed contours while keeping letterforms upright and legible enough for display use.
Spacing appears visually tight due to the condensed bodies and protruding spikes, so the font benefits from extra tracking in longer lines. The strongest impact comes from headline settings where the irregular edge texture can be clearly seen.
