A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with aggressively irregular contours and torn, spiky edges. Strokes look like solid ink masses that have been eroded, producing jagged silhouettes, uneven terminals, and pitted counters. Curves and straight segments both wobble subtly, giving the alphabet a distressed, handmade rhythm while retaining broadly simple, blocky letter constructions. Numerals match the same roughened treatment and maintain strong, dark texture in text lines.
Best suited to short headlines and titling where texture is the point: horror and Halloween posters, thriller or paranormal book covers, album art, haunted-attraction signage, and dramatic game or streaming graphics. It will also work for logos or badges that benefit from a distressed, gritty stamp feel, especially at larger sizes where the ragged contours can be appreciated.
The overall tone is ominous and gritty, evoking horror props, distressed signage, and inky splatters. Its rough perimeter and blot-like interiors create a sense of decay and unease, making even neutral words feel tense and dramatic. The texture reads as intentionally dirty and feral rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a heavily distressed silhouette—combining chunky, readable letterforms with a harsh, corroded edge to create a bold, scary voice for display use.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong all-over texture that can fill in at small sizes. Counters are often irregular and partially closed, which increases weight and atmosphere but reduces fine legibility in dense copy.
