A distressed display face with jagged, brush-cut contours and sharp, splintered terminals. Strokes alternate between chunky black masses and hairline streaks, creating abrupt internal notches and uneven edges that feel carved or scratched rather than drawn with smooth curves. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially closed, while joins and corners frequently break into spikes and slashes. The rhythm is lively and inconsistent by design, with glyph-to-glyph width variation and a slightly volatile baseline presence that reads as deliberately unruly.
Best suited for short display settings such as horror or thriller titling, haunted attraction posters, Halloween promotions, game and streaming graphics, and album/merch designs that want a gritty, hand-made intensity. It works particularly well when paired with a plain sans or neutral serif for supporting text, letting the distressed forms carry the mood without sacrificing overall layout clarity.
The font projects an aggressive, eerie energy—more “scrawled warning” than refined headline. Its spiked silhouettes and torn textures suggest horror, danger, and occult or ritual ephemera, with a raw DIY edge that also leans into punk and underground poster aesthetics.
Likely designed to simulate hand-rendered lettering that has been cut, scratched, or painted with a fraying brush, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. The consistent use of spikes, tears, and abrupt stroke thinning aims to deliver immediate impact and a sinister, unstable feel in headlines and logo-like wordmarks.
The distressed detailing becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes, where fine slivers and nicks can merge into heavier shapes; it benefits from generous tracking and strong contrast against clean backgrounds. Numerals and capitals carry the most iconic, angular cuts, while lowercase maintains the same scratchy stroke behavior for consistent tone in short phrases.
