A heavy display face built from chunky, mostly monoline stems whose edges are aggressively roughened, producing a torn, blobby silhouette. Letterforms are upright with irregular contours and frequent spikes, nicks, and drips that make counters and terminals feel eaten away. The rhythm is intentionally unstable: widths and sidebearings vary noticeably, and round forms look lumpy rather than geometric, creating a distressed, hand-mutilated texture across lines of text. Despite the erosion, key structures stay legible through strong verticals and simplified interior shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like horror posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, game title screens, album or playlist artwork, and punchy social graphics. It works well for logos or wordmarks where a distressed, eerie texture is the point, and less well for long passages where the ragged edges can reduce comfort and clarity.
The font projects a spooky, unsettling energy with a grindhouse, haunted-poster attitude. Its ragged ink-like perimeter reads as decay, rot, or something clawed and oozing, giving headlines a menacing, B-movie theatricality. The overall tone is loud and abrasive rather than subtle, leaning into shock and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed lettering with a corroded, dripping edge—like ink that bled, paint that cracked, or forms cut and gnawed away. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality, delivering immediate genre signaling for spooky and abrasive display contexts.
In sample text, the dense black mass and busy edges create strong texture that can fill in at smaller sizes; it performs best when given room to breathe. The irregular widths and rough perimeter add character but can make spacing feel intentionally chaotic, especially in all-caps runs and around narrow letters.
