A distressed blackletter-inspired display face with compact proportions and sharp, broken outlines. Strokes show medium contrast and end in irregular spikes and nicks, creating a torn-paper or eroded-ink edge all around each glyph. Counters are small and uneven, and the silhouette carries a rough, hand-worn texture while retaining a consistent upright stance and a readable, structured skeleton. Uppercase forms feel condensed and rigid; lowercase follows the same angular rhythm with slightly softer joins but similarly jagged terminals.
Best suited to short display settings such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game and film branding, and dramatic packaging or merch graphics. It also works well for headlines and chapter openers where texture and atmosphere are more important than long-form readability.
The font conveys a haunted, corrupted mood—like antique gothic lettering that’s been scraped, burned, or weathered over time. Its spiky distressing and dark color mass suggest horror, the occult, and ominous storytelling, leaning more sinister than playful.
The design appears intended to blend gothic/blackletter structure with heavy distressing to create immediate atmosphere. By keeping the core letterforms stable while aggressively roughening the edges, it aims to stay legible in display sizes while delivering a strongly aged, unsettling character.
The distress pattern is pervasive and fairly high-frequency, so the texture becomes a dominant feature in words and can visually clump at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same rough perimeter and compact build, matching the overall tone for consistent titling.
