A rough, ink-brushed display face with chunky letterforms and heavily irregular contours. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, with torn-looking terminals, ragged edges, and occasional wedge-like flares that suggest dry-brush or worn stencil impressions. Curves are lumpy and slightly misshapen, counters vary from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels intentionally uneven, creating a restless rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed texture, with simplified structures and small quirks that enhance the handmade, imperfect print character.
Ideal for short, high-impact applications such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween campaigns, haunted attraction signage, and gritty event posters. It also fits album artwork, indie game titles, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rough, handcrafted edge. Use at larger sizes to preserve legibility and let the distressed details carry the mood.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—more handmade horror poster than polished typography. Its distressed texture and uneven rhythm evoke decay, noise, and urgency, lending a mischievous, unsettling tone that reads as rebellious and theatrical.
The design appears intended to simulate aggressive brush lettering or degraded printing, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over smooth consistency. Its exaggerated roughness and uneven stroke behavior aim to communicate intensity and a deliberately unrefined, spooky aesthetic.
In longer text, the strong texture remains consistent but the irregular edges and variable interior shapes can reduce clarity at small sizes. It performs best when given room to breathe, where the torn terminals and blotty contours can register as intentional detail.
