A distressed, hand-rendered display face with irregular stroke edges and frequent tapering that creates thin, hairline ends against heavier inked stems. Forms are generally upright but intentionally unstable, with wobbling verticals, uneven curves, and subtly inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph. Terminals often appear torn or dripping, and counters can be slightly lopsided, reinforcing a raw, organic texture. Spacing feels loose and the overall rhythm is jagged, prioritizing expressive silhouette over smooth text color.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, poster headlines, game or stream graphics, haunted-attraction branding, and seasonal promotional materials. It can also work for album art and chapter headers where a distressed, threatening texture is desirable; longer paragraphs may become visually busy due to the irregular edges and varied stroke behavior.
The font conveys an ominous, haunted tone—like hurried lettering made with a dry brush or bleeding marker. Its sharp thins and ragged edges suggest tension and danger, while the drips and scratches add a cinematic horror/occult flavor. The overall effect is dramatic and unsettling rather than playful.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, spooky hand lettering with ink bleed, scratches, and drip-like terminals, emphasizing a frightening atmosphere and strong silhouettes. It prioritizes character and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic signaling in display contexts.
Uppercase shapes read as tall and narrow-leaning in silhouette despite the wide set width, with many letters featuring elongated vertical strokes and abrupt, broken-looking terminals. In the sample text, the distressed texture stays consistent across lines, producing a noisy, high-energy texture that benefits from generous size and contrast against clean backgrounds.
