A distressed display face with irregular, eroded outlines and chiseled, ink-worn edges. The letterforms lean on oldstyle serif construction, but the serifs and terminals break into spikes, notches, and uneven tapering that creates a torn, organic silhouette. Strokes stay generally steady in weight while their contours wobble and bite inward, producing a lively, noisy texture across words. Spacing is moderately open, and the texture remains consistent between uppercase and lowercase, with numerals matching the same rugged, cut-out feel.
Best suited for short-form display: horror and thriller titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-house signage, game or band branding, and dramatic book or podcast cover typography. It can work for pull quotes or section headers where atmosphere matters more than pristine readability.
The overall tone is ominous and antique, evoking haunted ephemera, occult signage, and weathered print artifacts. Its roughness reads as deliberate decay—more cursed manuscript than clean typography—making it feel dramatic and suspenseful.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with a deliberately degraded surface, creating a vintage-yet-threatening voice. By keeping the underlying proportions familiar while roughening every edge, it delivers immediate atmosphere without losing the basic letterform clarity needed for bold display settings.
In continuous text, the strong edge texture becomes the dominant feature, so the font reads best when set with generous size and breathing room. The jagged perimeter gives headlines a tactile, hand-hewn presence, and the punctuation carries the same distressed character for cohesive display use.
