A jagged display face with heavily distressed outlines and irregular, tooth-like spikes along stems, bowls, and terminals. Strokes stay broadly consistent in weight but the silhouette is aggressively eroded, creating a porous, bitten-away edge that reads like smeared ink or decayed print. Letterforms keep largely classic, serif-like structures—clear stems, crossbars, and bowls—while the rough contouring and uneven internal counters add constant texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines a restless rhythm and a handmade, cutout feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as titles, logos, and punchy headers where the distressed silhouette can be appreciated. It works well on horror or Halloween posters, spooky game UI/title screens, album or merch graphics, and themed event promotions. For longer text, it’s most effective in brief bursts (pull quotes, section heads) rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, suggesting horror props, haunted-house signage, and occult ephemera. Its distressed texture adds grit and age, leaning into a corrupted, weathered mood rather than clean intimidation. The spiky terminals and ragged edges create an anxious, unsettling energy that feels intentionally unruly.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through a classic letter skeleton wrapped in extreme edge distressing. By combining familiar serif-like proportions with aggressive erosion and spikes, it aims to feel aged, cursed, and hand-made—optimized for atmospheric display use over neutrality or text clarity.
The texture is strong enough that fine details can close up at smaller sizes, so the face reads best when given room and contrast. Numerals and capitals carry the same torn contouring as the lowercase, keeping a consistent “eroded” theme across the set.
