A rough, distressed display face with irregular, hand-cut looking outlines and subtly wobbling verticals. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel but broken by chipped edges and small notches, creating a printed-from-worn-block texture. Counters are generally open and readable, while terminals often end bluntly or taper slightly with torn, uneven silhouettes. Proportions are fairly compact with a steady cap height and a straightforward, upright construction, though individual glyphs show intentional inconsistency that adds a handmade rhythm.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the distressed edges can be appreciated—titles, headers, posters, packaging, and event promos with a dark or suspenseful theme. It can also support in-world props (warnings, labels, faux-old print) and stylized UI for horror or mystery games, especially at moderate sizes with comfortable tracking.
The texture and torn edges give the font an ominous, gritty tone—like aged signage, a stamped warning, or lettering pulled from a weathered artifact. It reads as unsettling rather than ornate, projecting tension through its jittery contours and rough ink spread.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, upright display voice with a deliberately degraded, torn-ink texture—balancing clear letterforms with an aged, unsettling finish for themed branding and dramatic headlines.
Uppercase forms feel sturdier and more poster-like, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shapes and a slightly looser baseline presence. Numerals carry the same worn perimeter treatment, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text. The distress pattern is consistent enough to feel designed, not random, but remains prominent at smaller sizes.
