A jagged, distressed display face with heavy, uneven strokes and aggressively torn-looking contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact proportions and a tight rhythm, but widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding a handmade, improvised feel. Terminals fray into spikes and drips, and counters are irregular and pinched, creating a rough ink-on-paper impression. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, keeping the set cohesive at display sizes.
Well-suited for horror and thriller titles, Halloween graphics, gritty posters, event flyers, and album or merch typography where texture is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or game menus when used large, with ample tracking and contrast against the background.
The font projects a gritty, ominous tone—part horror poster, part DIY punk flyer. Its rough edges and blotchy silhouettes suggest urgency and unease, making even simple words feel dramatic and slightly chaotic.
Designed to deliver instant impact through a distressed, ink-brushed texture and irregular silhouettes, prioritizing mood and character over neutral readability. The set aims to look printed, worn, or violently brushed in one pass, giving headlines a cinematic, suspense-driven presence.
In the sample text, the distressed texture stays prominent at larger sizes, where the torn edges and ragged terminals become a key graphic feature. At smaller sizes or dense paragraphs, the heavy texture and irregular counters may reduce clarity, so it reads best when given space.
