A distressed display face with jagged, irregular contours and uneven stroke edges that feel carved or torn rather than smoothly drawn. Letterforms lean on simple, blocky skeletons with slightly condensed proportions, but the outlines wobble and chip, creating a lively, broken rhythm across words. Corners are frequently blunt or notched, curves are faceted, and counters stay fairly open, keeping forms recognizable despite the rough texture. Numerals and capitals carry the most visual bite, while lowercase maintains the same fractured edge treatment for consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, and attention-grabbing subheads where the chipped edges can be appreciated. It also fits themed applications—Halloween, spooky comedy, underground music, or quirky packaging—where a rough, handmade voice adds personality. Use with generous tracking and size for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and off-kilter, mixing a spooky, vintage-horror energy with a playful handmade attitude. It reads like a deliberately “imperfect” headline style—meant to feel loud, odd, and slightly unruly rather than refined.
The design intention appears to be a recognizable, legible display alphabet infused with built-in distress and irregularity to produce an expressive, one-off texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over smooth typographic polish, aiming to make ordinary words feel animated and slightly unsettling.
Texture is baked into the outlines, so the font’s character strengthens at larger sizes and may look noisy in small settings or dense paragraphs. The irregular perimeter creates a vibrating silhouette line, giving headlines a gritty presence even in solid black.
