A condensed, heavy display face with irregular, torn contours and sharp, splintered terminals. Strokes are mostly vertical and sturdy, but the edges break into nicks and tooth-like notches that create a jittery silhouette. Counters are tight and sometimes pinched, and curves (as in O/C/G) read as rough-cut rather than smooth. Overall spacing feels compact, with uneven sidebearings that add to a distressed, hand-worn rhythm while keeping the letterforms broadly recognizable.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, packaging accents, and branding for horror-leaning entertainment. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the jagged edge detail and irregular rhythm can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The texture and aggressive, chipped outlines give the font a horror-poster energy—uneasy, gritty, and confrontational. It suggests something weathered and ominous, like ink dragged across rough paper or letters carved and frayed over time.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a consistently distressed, sharp-edged texture, combining a compact display structure with a dramatic, eroded surface. The goal is impact and atmosphere rather than neutral readability, making it ideal for attention-grabbing headlines.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a coherent “shredded” edge throughout. At smaller sizes the interior openings may begin to fill visually due to the dense weight and rough perimeter, while larger settings emphasize the gnarly silhouette and surface texture.
