A heavy, jagged display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and occasional interior nicks that mimic rough ink spread or eroded stencil edges. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with simplified construction and a mostly consistent vertical stance, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for an unruly rhythm. Strokes end in sharp, splintered terminals and uneven shoulders, producing a textured silhouette that stays legible at larger sizes but becomes busy as the details compress.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween titles, gig posters, album/EP artwork, game or streaming overlays, and punchy packaging labels where texture is desirable. It performs most reliably when given room to breathe—larger sizes, moderate tracking, and high contrast backgrounds help preserve the torn-edge detail.
The overall tone is gritty and menacing, with a handmade, battered feel that reads as theatrical and slightly chaotic. Its rough perimeter and inky artifacts suggest danger, suspense, and underground energy rather than polish or refinement.
Likely designed to deliver immediate atmosphere through distressed contours and uneven rhythm, prioritizing character and texture over neutrality. The consistent rugged treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention for cohesive headline typography in themed, attention-grabbing applications.
Capitals have a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase carries the same distressed edge treatment for consistent texture across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the rugged silhouette, making them suitable for impactful headlines but less suited to small UI or long-form reading.
