A heavy, distressed display face with ragged, torn-looking contours and irregular silhouettes. Strokes are chunky and compact, with frequent nicks, spikes, and bite-like cut-ins that create a jittery outline rather than clean curves. Counters tend to be small and rugged, and many terminals end abruptly with chipped, uneven edges. The overall rhythm is deliberately inconsistent, with slight glyph-to-glyph width variation and a textured, eroded feel that stays visually cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as horror or thriller titling, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, game title screens, and moody editorial headers. It can also work on packaging or labels where an intentionally distressed, ominous voice is desired, especially in large sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a threatening, uneasy tone—like weathered lettering scraped into a surface or pulled from a horror poster. Its rough texture and jagged terminals add tension and urgency, reading as ominous and confrontational rather than friendly or refined.
The design appears intended to mimic torn, gnawed, or eroded letterforms while maintaining clear Latin shapes, creating an instantly recognizable, frightening display voice. Its consistent roughening strategy suggests a focus on dramatic texture and atmosphere rather than neutral text performance.
In the sample text, the dense black shapes and rough perimeter texture remain prominent even at larger paragraph settings, emphasizing atmosphere over smooth readability. The design’s irregular edges create strong visual noise, so it performs best when given ample size and contrast against the background.
