A heavy display face with chunky, uneven strokes and aggressively distressed contours. Letterforms are built from broad, rounded masses that are repeatedly bitten away by ragged notches and pitted voids, creating a blotchy, ink-splatter silhouette. Terminals tend to end in torn, irregular edges rather than clean cuts, and counters are often lumpy and asymmetrical, especially in rounded shapes like O, Q, and 0. Overall spacing reads slightly loose and inconsistent by design, reinforcing a handmade, degraded texture at both uppercase and lowercase sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as poster headlines, title cards, event promos, and packaging where atmosphere matters more than clean readability. It works well in horror, thriller, and Halloween-themed graphics, as well as for distressed logos or display treatments in games and entertainment. For body copy or small UI labels, it will generally benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The texture and torn outlines give the type a suspenseful, unsettling tone—more found-footage and grunge than polished gothic. It feels like ink stamped on rough paper or paint dragged across a surface, with a restless rhythm that reads as ominous and unstable. The result is attention-grabbing and theatrical, with a clear horror-adjacent attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable distressed horror voice by combining very heavy shapes with deliberately corrupted edges and counters. Its consistent roughness across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on creating a cohesive “decayed ink” texture that holds together in bold headline settings.
The most legible shapes are the simpler, blockier letters and numerals, while more complex forms (like S, R, and some diagonals) lean into distortion for character. At smaller sizes the distressing can fill in and reduce clarity, whereas at larger sizes the pitted edges and internal breaks become a strong stylistic feature.
