A heavy display face built from chunky, compact letterforms with aggressively irregular, torn-looking edges. Strokes read as solid masses with abrupt nicks, spikes, and bite-like cutouts that create a distressed silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and uneven, and terminals break into rough points and notches, giving each glyph a cut-paper or gnawed texture while keeping the overall structure legible. The set maintains a consistent cap height and strong vertical stance, with deliberately inconsistent sidebearings that add a handmade, unruly rhythm in words.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, cover art, Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, and themed packaging. It also works for logos or badges where the rough silhouette can be featured at larger sizes and with ample spacing.
The texture and broken contours push a haunted, monster-movie tone—more campy and graphic than subtle. It feels loud and theatrical, with a mischievous menace suited to jump-scare headlines and tongue-in-cheek horror branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable horror texture through exaggerated, distressed silhouettes while preserving simple underlying letter constructions for readability in headlines.
The distress is baked into the outlines, so edges stay visually busy even at larger sizes; at smaller sizes the rough perimeter can start to fill in and reduce clarity. Numerals and lowercase follow the same gouged, irregular treatment, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
