A distressed display face with heavy, inked strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms are compact and mostly upright, with sharp tapers, torn edges, and occasional spurs that read like scraped brush marks or rough-cut stencils. Strokes show abrupt thickness shifts and uneven terminals, creating a restless rhythm and a hand-made, imperfect texture. Counters are small to medium and often unevenly carved, while spacing appears slightly inconsistent by design for a more chaotic silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as titles, poster headlines, packaging callouts, and event promotions where texture is part of the message. It can work well for horror, thriller, or dark fantasy branding, and for game or entertainment graphics that benefit from a raw, unsettling display style.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, suggesting danger, mystery, and supernatural tension. Its scratchy edges and tapering strokes evoke old horror posters, cursed manuscripts, or DIY zines, lending an intentionally unsettling, gritty voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable horror-leaning mood through rough, tapering strokes and distressed edges. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over neutrality, aiming for bold silhouettes that feel hand-made and slightly unpredictable.
The uppercase has a commanding, poster-like presence, while the lowercase stays similarly rugged with simplified forms and narrow internal spaces. Numerals maintain the same distressed treatment, with the 0 showing an irregular inner counter that reinforces the worn, hand-rendered feel.
