A decorative serif with a fractured, distressed construction that breaks strokes into angular shards and chipped terminals. Letterforms lean forward with sharp, calligraphic diagonals and frequent tapering, creating a high-contrast feel where thin hairlines and heavier fragments alternate unpredictably. Curves are often interrupted by bites and notches, and many joins look intentionally rough, producing uneven color and a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in stance but rendered with aggressive cuts, while lowercase shows more varied silhouettes and a slightly more fluid, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title cards, album/film artwork, game or tabletop headers, and themed event flyers where the distressed personality is a feature. It can also work for short logotypes or packaging accents when a rough, spooky, or eccentric voice is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is uncanny and mischievous—part gothic, part DIY—suggesting spellbook theatrics, haunted-house signage, and offbeat humor. Its broken texture reads as weathered and dramatic, adding tension and energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable, textured look—like letters cut, cracked, or eroded—while retaining enough serif structure to stay legible in short bursts. Its forward slant and jagged interruptions prioritize expressive impact and atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
At text sizes the distressed detailing can visually fill in or sparkle depending on reproduction, so it tends to perform best when given room to breathe. Numerals and several diagonals (e.g., X, Y, Z) emphasize slash-like strokes that amplify the scratchy, carved impression.
