A distressed display face with rough, jagged outlines and irregular, ink-torn edges. Strokes feel carved and broken, with sharp notches, occasional drip-like terminals, and uneven contours that give each glyph a weathered silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the interior shapes are imperfect, producing a gritty texture across words while keeping a mostly consistent vertical stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, posters, packaging, and promotional graphics where texture is desirable. It can work for headers and logos in horror, dark fantasy, and thriller contexts, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror posters, haunted-house signage, and dark fantasy ephemera. Its ragged finish reads as aged, corrupted, or blood-inked, creating tension and unease while still feeling deliberately stylized rather than random.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive, eroded forms—combining classic display letter structure with deliberate distressing to suggest decay, danger, and the supernatural.
Spacing and rhythm lean toward a choppy, hand-formed cadence, where the distressed perimeter becomes the dominant visual feature. Numerals and capitals maintain the same torn-edge logic, helping titles and short lines feel cohesive and emphatic.
