A heavy, slanted display face with compact proportions and thick, energetic strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded, sans-like cores that are aggressively distressed with jagged spikes, torn corners, and occasional drip-like notches, producing a rough, brush-cut silhouette. The stroke endings are irregular and tapered, with uneven edges that add texture while keeping the interior shapes relatively open for readability. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing a hand-rendered, kinetic rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for large-scale display settings where the distressed edges can be appreciated: horror and Halloween branding, movie or event posters, game titles and UI accents, album/merch graphics, and punchy social headlines. It can work for short bursts of copy, but the rough contours are most effective when used sparingly and at generous sizes.
The overall tone reads ominous and mischievous—more “horror poster” than formal gothic—combining menace with a playful, B-movie edge. The torn, scratchy contours suggest decay, danger, and urgency, giving headlines a loud, attention-grabbing bite.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable spooky texture while staying legible through bold, simplified underlying forms. The consistent ragged detailing and forward slant aim to create motion and tension, giving headlines a sharp, theatrical impact.
The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive texture in both short words and longer passages. Rounded counters in letters like O/e keep the color from becoming too noisy, while the repeated spike-and-tear motif preserves the theme at larger sizes.
