A distressed display face with thick, irregular strokes and aggressively ragged contours. Terminals often end in thorn-like spikes or torn edges, and counters are uneven and sometimes partially occluded by blotty ink shapes, creating a rough, eroded silhouette. The rhythm is intentionally inconsistent—widths and interior shapes vary from glyph to glyph—while the overall stance remains upright and compact in height, with small lowercase bodies and prominent, jagged ascenders and descenders. The texture reads like dry-brush or worn stamping, with rough joins and fluctuating stroke boundaries rather than smooth curves.
Best suited to display use where texture can be appreciated: posters, title cards, packaging, and promotional graphics for horror-leaning themes. It works well for short headlines, logos, and atmospheric pull quotes, and can add instant mood to event materials such as Halloween nights or haunted attractions.
The font projects a spooky, macabre tone with a gritty, DIY horror sensibility. Its scratchy edges and dripping/torn suggestions evoke haunted-house signage, pulp horror covers, and occult ephemera—more theatrical and stylized than subtle. The overall feel is loud, unsettling, and playful in a dark way, suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed, hand-rendered lettering with a deliberately degraded edge—combining sharp, spiked gestures with blotty erosion to produce a theatrical horror atmosphere. Consistency comes from the repeated rough texture and heavy silhouettes rather than strict geometric construction.
In text settings, the heavy texture and irregular counters reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but the strong silhouettes keep words recognizable in short bursts. Numerals and capitals maintain the same distressed treatment, helping mixed-case compositions feel cohesive while preserving an intentionally chaotic surface.
