A heavy display face built from chunky silhouettes whose contours look eroded and bitten away. Stems and bowls stay broadly upright and fairly blocky, but every edge is irregular: corners splinter into spikes, counters wobble, and terminals fray into small nicks and drips. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a noisy rhythm with uneven outlines and slightly uneven internal spaces that read as intentional distressing rather than stroke modulation.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, seasonal promotions, haunted attraction materials, and dramatic headlines where texture is part of the message. It works well on dark-on-light or high-contrast compositions, and benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in multi-line copy.
The letterforms suggest decay and menace, like ink that has blistered, burned, or been eaten through. Its jagged perimeter and blot-like holes create an anxious, horror-leaning tone that feels raw and unpolished, leaning into shock and suspense rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly “infected” or corrupted look through aggressive edge distressing and spiky terminals, keeping the underlying skeleton simple so the texture carries the personality. It prioritizes atmosphere and immediacy over smooth readability, functioning as a thematic display voice for ominous or macabre contexts.
In the sample text, the dense black mass and rough perimeter remain prominent even at sentence sizes, while the irregular counters and spurs add visual buzz that can reduce clarity in longer passages. The texture is strongest on rounded forms (C, O, G, 0) where the outline becomes a torn ring, and on verticals where small protrusions create a serrated silhouette.
