A distressed display face with chunky strokes and heavily eroded contours. Letterforms are built from simple, upright structures but their outlines are uneven and torn, creating a jittery silhouette and a mottled interior edge. Terminals tend to look chipped or frayed rather than cleanly cut, and counters are irregularly shaped, especially in round letters. Spacing and widths feel uneven by design, emphasizing a handmade, weathered rhythm over typographic regularity.
Best used for short headlines and impactful titling where texture and mood are primary—horror posters, haunted event promotions, thriller title cards, game menus, or album/merch graphics. It will be most effective when given generous size and contrast so the distressed edges remain legible.
The texture reads as ominous and unsettled—like ink dragged across rough paper or letters cut from worn stencils. Its jagged perimeter and inconsistent “bite marks” give it a menacing, low-fi energy suited to macabre or suspenseful themes.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through aggressive erosion and irregular stroke edges, prioritizing a gritty, unsettling voice over neutrality. Its consistent distress pattern across the set suggests it was crafted as a thematic display font for dramatic, story-driven visuals.
In the sample text, the rough texture dominates at smaller sizes, while larger settings better preserve character recognition. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the style cohesive even as widths vary.
