A condensed, slanted display face with heavy, uneven strokes and deliberately ragged outlines. Letterforms feel hand-drawn, with wobbly verticals, pinched joins, and irregular terminals that create a torn or eroded edge. Counters are small and sometimes lopsided, and the baseline and cap line appear slightly unsettled, reinforcing a jittery rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same distressed construction, maintaining a consistent rough texture across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as movie or event titles, posters, cover art, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where texture is a feature. It will be most effective at larger sizes, where the distressed edges and ink-like irregularities can be appreciated without compromising legibility.
The overall tone is ominous and gritty, evoking worn posters, horror titles, and unsettling headlines. Its scratchy contours and unstable silhouettes give it a tense, handmade energy that reads as intentionally imperfect and slightly threatening.
The design appears intended to mimic a distressed, hand-inked look with a dramatic slant and tightly packed proportions, aiming for a rough, spooky display voice suitable for themed branding and attention-grabbing headlines.
Despite the heavy texture, key shapes remain recognizable at display sizes, with pronounced vertical emphasis and narrow spacing that intensifies the packed, urgent feel. The rough edge treatment is pervasive rather than localized, which helps the font read as a unified style rather than an occasional effect.
