A distressed display face with irregular, ink-like contours and frequent thorny protrusions along stems and bowls. Strokes alternate between thin hairline points and heavier blobs, creating sharp internal contrast and a scratchy, weathered texture. Terminals often taper to needle points or break into rough edges, while counters remain readable but uneven. Overall widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, with a compact, condensed feel and tight internal spacing that keeps the texture dense in words.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, game and film title cards, album artwork, and themed packaging. It can also work for chapter headers or pull quotes when you want an intentionally unsettling, handcrafted texture.
The font reads as eerie and menacing, evoking horror props, cursed manuscripts, and hand-made marks that feel unstable and unpredictable. Its spiky silhouettes and worn edges suggest tension and decay, giving text an ominous, cinematic tone.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately spooky voice through distressed, thorn-like forms and dramatic tapering, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. Its uneven edges and high-contrast punctures aim to mimic rough ink, scratches, or corroded signage for genre-driven display typography.
The distressed detail is consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, so texture becomes a primary feature of the rhythm. Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the jagged edges and tapered terminals can resolve cleanly, while smaller sizes may let the roughness dominate.
