A jagged, distressed display face with rough, torn edges and sharp, splintered terminals. The silhouettes are heavy and inky, with irregular stroke contours that look chipped and eroded rather than smoothly drawn. Letterforms lean forward with an aggressive, angular rhythm; bowls and counters are uneven and often pinched, while diagonals and stems taper into hooked points. Spacing and widths feel intentionally unsettled, giving lines of text a restless, hand-cut texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, album/merch graphics, game or film titles, and spooky seasonal headlines. It performs well where texture and attitude are more important than long-form readability, especially at medium to large sizes with generous tracking and line spacing.
The font projects an ominous, unruly tone—equal parts spooky and rebellious. Its scratchy, torn shapes read as eerie and ritualistic at larger sizes, while also evoking DIY flyer energy and anarchic theatrics.
The design intention appears to be creating a striking, one-off display voice built around distressed blackletter-inspired structure and deliberately irregular, torn contours. It aims to deliver immediate atmosphere—dark, theatrical, and chaotic—through exaggerated edges, uneven counters, and an aggressively forward-leaning rhythm.
Uppercase forms hold together as a set but keep strong per-glyph irregularities, and the lowercase follows the same spiky logic with compact counters and abrupt joins. Numerals match the distressed texture and maintain strong presence, though fine interior notches and ragged edges can fill in at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
