A chunky, hand-rendered serif with visibly roughened outlines and uneven stroke terminals. Strokes have a wet-ink, stamped texture with small voids and nicks throughout counters and along edges, creating a worn print effect. Letterforms are compact and slightly varied in width, with short, blocky serifs and occasional flare at stroke ends that adds a carved/inked feel. The rhythm is intentionally irregular—curves wobble subtly, joins look hand-drawn, and the numerals share the same distressed mass and imperfect contours.
Well-suited to display applications where texture is part of the message: event posters, horror or mystery titling, game headers, editorial pull quotes, and themed packaging or labels. It also works for short branding marks or badges when a gritty, analog print character is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, eerie tone with a playful handmade energy, like distressed poster type or a rough rubber-stamp impression. Its textured black shapes feel noisy and dramatic, giving words a pulpy, atmospheric presence without becoming purely chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed, imperfect printing and hand-inked lettering, combining sturdy serif structures with deliberate wear, wobble, and ink breaks to create an expressive, themed display face.
In longer lines the dense texture can visually accumulate, so generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve clarity. The strongest impression comes from the consistent “worn ink” pattern and the blunt, block-serif silhouette, which keeps the overall voice cohesive despite the intentional irregularities.
