A jagged, distressed display face with torn contours and uneven, blobby stroke masses that suggest wet ink or eroded edges. Letterforms are slightly slanted and irregular in width, with high interior contrast created by chunky outer silhouettes and small, bite-like counters (notably in rounded letters). Terminals often end in sharp, splintered points, while bowls and joints appear gouged or gnawed, producing a restless rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with deliberate inconsistency that reads as hand-made and weathered rather than geometric.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed edges and spiky terminals can be appreciated without collapsing. It fits horror and dark-fantasy titles, event posters, game UI headlines, album/merch branding, and short punchy packaging copy where atmosphere matters more than clean readability.
The font projects an ominous, horror-leaning tone—like scraped paint, scorched paper, or ink dragged across a rough surface. Its aggressive spikes and ragged contours add tension and instability, creating a sense of unease suited to supernatural or thriller atmospheres.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate mood through texture: a deliberately degraded, ink-blotted silhouette with sharp, threatening accents and irregular construction. It prioritizes character and tension over typographic neutrality, aiming for strong thematic impact in titles and branding.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed DNA, but the lowercase tends to be narrower and more wiry, helping it knit into word shapes despite the rough texture. Numerals follow the same torn silhouette logic, staying legible at headline sizes while retaining a gritty, damaged character.
