A heavy, rounded display face with aggressively irregular, torn-looking contours and abrupt triangular notches throughout the strokes. Letterforms are built from broad, ink-like masses, but their edges break into spikes and rough bites that create a distressed silhouette rather than a smooth outline. Counters tend to be fairly open and circular, while terminals frequently taper to sharp points, giving the alphabet a dynamic, cut-paper/brush-slash feel. Overall widths vary noticeably by glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, event posters, game and streaming graphics, and punchy packaging or stickers where texture is desirable. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the edge detail reads clearly.
The texture and serrated edges evoke horror and Halloween imagery, with a mischievous, cartoon-ghost energy rather than a strictly grim tone. It reads as dramatic and attention-seeking, suggesting motion, claw marks, or ripped fabric.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, instantly thematic distressed look—combining chunky readability with a deliberately ragged, slashed edge treatment to add atmosphere and energy without relying on complex letter construction.
The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, with many characters showing small interior nicks and asymmetric protrusions that animate the shapes. The figures are bold and simplified, matching the letterforms’ chunky proportions and keeping the set cohesive at display sizes.
