A heavy, slanted display face with a rough, distressed silhouette and chiseled-looking strokes. Letterforms are built from chunky masses that break into jagged edges, with irregular counters and uneven terminals that feel scraped or corroded. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a blotty, ink-worn rhythm; round forms like O/Q are especially rugged, while verticals and diagonals show torn, tapering protrusions. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a hand-rendered, cutout-like presence rather than a geometric or strictly modular build.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as horror and thriller titling, Halloween promotions, escape-room or haunted-attraction branding, game splash screens, and album or event posters. It can also work for chapter headers or pull quotes where texture and mood matter more than long-form readability.
The font projects an eerie, suspenseful tone—like worn headline type from a horror poster or a battered printing block. Its roughness and aggressive silhouettes give it a sense of danger and urgency, with a grimy, nighttime atmosphere that reads as deliberately unsettling rather than playful.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed print or hand-inked lettering—bold enough to dominate a composition while the eroded edges and irregular counters add narrative grit. The consistent rough treatment across the set suggests it was made to deliver immediate atmosphere and tension in display settings.
At text sizes the distressed edges can close in and create dark spots, so it reads best when given breathing room and used with simple layouts. The numerals and punctuation carry the same eroded texture, keeping the overall voice cohesive in short phrases and titles.
