A distressed blackletter-inspired display face with irregular, chipped contours and sharply notched terminals. Strokes appear weighty and compact, with abrupt width changes created by torn-looking edges rather than smooth modulation. Counters are small and uneven, and many joins form pointed wedges that give the letterforms a carved, broken-in texture. Overall spacing feels slightly erratic, contributing to a restless rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short headlines and impactful display settings such as horror or Halloween promotions, metal or punk event graphics, game title screens, and fantasy/horror book covers. It also works well for packaging accents or chapter openers where a distressed, ominous voice is desired and size can remain comfortably large.
The font conveys a dark, occult-leaning tone—suggestive of horror titles, cursed manuscripts, and gritty fantasy ephemera. Its jagged silhouette reads aggressive and theatrical, with a handmade, weathered energy that feels more menacing than elegant.
Likely designed to evoke a worn blackletter look—like ink dragged across rough paper or letters chipped from stone—while maintaining recognizable, high-impact silhouettes for display typography. The consistent distress pattern and sharp terminals suggest an emphasis on atmosphere and texture over smooth readability.
At larger sizes the distressed detailing becomes a key feature, while at smaller sizes the chipped edges and tight counters can visually fill in and reduce clarity. Numerals and lowercase share the same rough, fractured styling, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
