A distressed display face with heavy, brushy strokes and pronounced roughening along edges and counters. Letterforms show an ink-blot, woodcut-like texture: interiors are partially eroded, terminals are torn and spiky, and curves wobble with uneven pressure. The silhouettes are lively and irregular, with noticeable per-glyph variation in stroke thickness and contour, creating a hand-made, printed-worn feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short headlines, titles, and impactful pull quotes where texture is part of the message. It works well for horror and thriller artwork, Halloween promotions, game titles and menus, and packaging or labels that benefit from a gritty, vintage-printed atmosphere.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, evoking horror props, folklore posters, and worn signage. Its rough texture and jagged terminals add tension and grit, giving text a haunted, cinematic presence rather than a clean contemporary polish.
This font appears designed to deliver immediate character through controlled damage—combining bold, legible silhouettes with aggressive erosion and irregular brush-like forms. The intention is to simulate worn ink and torn edges while maintaining enough structure for display readability.
The strongest visual signature is the internal distressing—many glyphs have chipped counters and ink breaks that read as deliberate aging. Numerals follow the same battered construction, keeping a consistent voice for titles that mix letters and numbers.
