A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavily distressed edges and an uneven, hand-inked silhouette. Strokes are thick with subtly wavering sides, and terminals look torn or eroded rather than cleanly cut. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, giving letters a dense, stamped feel, while the overall rhythm stays readable thanks to clear, straightforward skeletons. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with small variations that keep the set lively and organic.
Best suited to display settings where texture and atmosphere are the point: horror and thriller titling, Halloween promotions, haunted-house signage, event flyers, and game/film key art. It can also work for punchy packaging or merchandise graphics when a distressed, eerie voice is needed; for longer text, it performs best in short bursts such as headlines, labels, and pull quotes.
The font conveys a haunted, gritty tone—like weathered poster type pulled from old horror one-sheets or a foggy midnight flyer. Its rough contours and blotted massing suggest decay, dread, and theatrical suspense, but with a playful, pulpy edge rather than pure brutality.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through heavy weight and ragged erosion, combining a bold poster structure with an intentionally degraded surface. The consistent distress across the set suggests a deliberate, reusable texture meant to feel printed, worn, and ominous while staying clear enough for titling.
Lowercase forms echo the same rugged construction as the capitals, favoring compact shapes and simplified details that help maintain legibility at display sizes. Numerals share the same roughened perimeter and stout proportions, making them visually compatible in titles and short callouts.
