A heavily slanted, brush-like display face with chunky strokes and jagged, torn edges throughout. Letterforms show deliberate irregularity: counters are uneven, terminals splinter into small spikes and drips, and stroke widths fluctuate sharply within each glyph, creating a chiseled, distressed silhouette. The baseline feels animated by downward “ooze” in many characters, while rounded forms (like O, Q, 0, 8) stay thick but remain roughened at the perimeter. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably, emphasizing a hand-made, distressed rhythm rather than a uniform text texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, logos, and promotional graphics where a distressed, sinister tone is desired. It works especially well in dark-themed posters, horror or thriller packaging, and game or streaming artwork, and is less appropriate for long passages due to its intentionally rough texture.
The font projects a tense, horror-leaning energy—like wet ink, claw marks, or melting paint. Its rough edges and dripping terminals create a sense of danger and suspense, with a DIY, gritty attitude that reads as intentionally unpolished and unsettling.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, distressed lettering—combining bold brush motion with torn, dripping terminals to create an instantly atmospheric display voice. Its variable rhythm and aggressive edge treatment prioritize mood and texture over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed construction, helping mixed-case settings maintain a consistent, noisy texture. Numerals match the same eroded, drippy treatment, making them suitable for stylized dates or countdown-style messaging where legibility can be secondary to mood.
