A chunky display face with heavy, high-contrast strokes and a largely upright stance. Letterforms are built from blunt, blocky masses, but the contours are intentionally irregular: edges look torn or chewed, corners are chipped, and curves are faceted into angular segments. Counters are compact and sometimes uneven, giving the shapes a stamped, worn texture while maintaining clear silhouettes. Spacing reads slightly uneven due to the distressed outlines, with a lively, hand-mangled rhythm across words.
Best suited to short, bold text where texture is a feature: headlines, posters, packaging, cover art, and thematic branding for haunted, monster, or gritty entertainment contexts. It can also work for game titles and UI labels where a rough, tactile feel is desired, but it’s most effective when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and ominous, blending horror-poster energy with a scrappy, DIY attitude. The ragged perimeter treatment suggests decay, rough printing, or cut-paper abrasion, creating an expressive, attention-grabbing voice rather than a polished one.
The design appears aimed at delivering an instantly thematic, distressed display look that feels carved, torn, or weathered, while keeping letterforms chunky enough to remain legible in impactful settings.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-like and geometric, while lowercase remains sturdy and readable but carries the same chipped, serrated perimeter. Numerals follow the same rugged construction, with strong silhouettes that hold up in short bursts but can look busy in dense settings.
