A rough, distressed serif with heavily eroded contours and uneven, ink-bled edges throughout. Strokes are stout and generally consistent, but their outlines wobble and chip, creating a mottled silhouette that reads like worn print or degraded stamping. The serifs are short and blunt, often appearing broken or bitten away, and counters stay mostly open despite the heavy texture. Spacing and widths vary by letter, giving lines an irregular rhythm that emphasizes the handmade, deteriorated effect.
Best suited for short headlines, poster typography, and themed branding where texture is desirable—such as horror titles, haunted-event promos, game menus, or album/cover art. It can also work as an accent font for labels or packaging that aims for an antique, ominous feel rather than clean readability in long passages.
The overall tone is unsettling and atmospheric, combining old-world bookish shapes with decay and grime. It evokes horror props, cursed manuscripts, and weathered signage—more spooky than playful, with a tactile, gritty presence.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with a deliberately degraded surface, producing a haunted, timeworn look reminiscent of aged print or corroded ink. The consistent distress across letters suggests an emphasis on mood and texture over refinement, optimized for attention-grabbing display settings.
In the sample text, the distressed texture remains prominent at display sizes and adds a persistent flicker along baselines and vertical stems. The numerals and uppercase forms carry the same chipped perimeter, keeping a consistent visual theme across the set.
