A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick, uneven strokes and heavily ragged contours. Letterforms feel brush- or marker-drawn, with wobbly verticals, irregular terminals, and chiseled-looking interior counters. The baseline and cap line read as intentionally unstable, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a jittery rhythm. Angular joins mix with blunted curves, producing silhouettes that look torn, distressed, and slightly eroded.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror titles, Halloween event promotions, thriller posters, streaming thumbnails, and game or tabletop assets that need a gritty mood. It also works well for album/mixtape artwork and packaging where texture and attitude are more important than clean readability.
The texture and irregularity give it an unsettling, horror-leaning tone—more frantic and gritty than elegant. It suggests hand-painted warning signage, scrawled notes, or ominous title cards, with an aggressive, uneasy energy that reads immediately as “off.”
The design appears intended to emulate hastily inked, distressed lettering—deliberately imperfect to create tension and unease. Its variable widths and torn edges prioritize expressive, cinematic atmosphere over neutral text setting.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the font keeps its character in longer passages. Counters can get tight and edges are intentionally noisy, which boosts atmosphere but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in dense layouts.
