A jagged, distressed display face with thin-to-thick strokes and highly irregular contours. The letterforms feel hand-drawn and partially eroded, with torn-looking edges, uneven terminals, and occasional interior voids that read like chipped ink or rough stencil breaks. Curves are wobbly and asymmetrical, verticals often taper, and crossbars/spurs appear broken or hooked, creating a restless texture across words. Numerals and capitals maintain recognizable skeletons but vary noticeably in width and surface detail, reinforcing a deliberately unstable rhythm.
Well suited for short display settings such as horror and Halloween graphics, game or film titles, album/merch art, book covers, and themed packaging. It can also work for logos or headers where a distressed, supernatural mood is desired, but is less appropriate for dense body copy due to its heavy texture.
The overall tone is eerie and gritty, evoking horror ephemera, dark fantasy, and occult or ritual signage. Its distressed texture suggests age, decay, or corrupted printing, giving text a tense, unsettling energy.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, distressed display voice that feels hand-inked and deteriorated, prioritizing atmosphere over smooth regularity. Its irregular stroke breaks and ragged silhouettes are crafted to communicate tension, mystery, and a worn, haunted patina.
In running text the rough edges create strong visual noise, so the face reads best when allowed generous size and spacing. The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive “weathered ink” look.
