A condensed, upright display style with irregular, ragged contours and rough terminals that read like worn print or eroded lettering. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent bulges, nicks, and tapering ends, creating a jittery rhythm across words. Curves and bowls are slightly lumpy and asymmetrical, while stems tend to be tall and narrow, keeping the overall silhouette tight and vertical.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where mood is the priority: horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house signage, game and film posters, book covers, and event graphics. It can work for branding or packaging when an intentionally unsettling, distressed voice is desired, but the heavy texture is likely to be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
This face carries an eerie, uneasy tone, like ink that’s been distressed or partially decayed. The texture feels ominous and theatrical, suggesting supernatural or haunted themes without becoming overly cartoonish.
The design appears intended to inject atmosphere through deliberate roughness and uneven edges, mimicking degraded ink or worn display lettering. Its narrow build and high verticality help it stand out in short phrases while the distressed detailing carries most of the personality.
The texture is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive distressed system. Several forms keep relatively open counters despite the rough edges, helping maintain legibility while preserving the worn, jagged character.
