A jagged, decorative display face with irregular, bite-like contours and thorny protrusions along nearly every stroke. Letterforms are built from chunky, dark masses with uneven edges and occasional pinched terminals, creating a distressed silhouette rather than clean outlines. Counters are small-to-medium and often lopsided, and joins can look torn or gnawed, producing a restless rhythm across words. Spacing and sidebearings feel inconsistent by design, contributing to a slightly unstable texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and atmosphere matter more than long-form readability: horror and Halloween titles, event posters, band and venue flyers, game and film branding, and spooky packaging or label-style graphics. It also works well for logotypes or wordmarks that need a distressed, cursed look, especially when given generous size and tracking.
The font projects a menacing, supernatural tone—more corrupted and feral than elegant. Its rough, spiked edges and ragged interiors evoke decay, cursed artifacts, and old horror print treatments, giving headlines a tense, unsettling voice.
The design appears intended to mimic torn ink and gnawed, spined contours to create immediate genre signaling and a gritty, unsettling presence. It prioritizes dramatic silhouette and texture, turning otherwise traditional letter skeletons into a deliberately corrupted, horror-forward display style.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive roughened construction, with lowercase retaining enough structure for word shapes while still reading aggressively. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same eroded edge treatment, helping the overall texture stay consistent in mixed content. The heavy black shapes can visually clump at smaller sizes, where the distressed details begin to merge.
