A heavy, compact display face with irregular, ragged contours that feel torn or brush-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are chunky with small bite-like notches, occasional drip-like terminals, and uneven edge texture that creates a jittery silhouette. Curves are slightly pinched and lumpy, counters tend to be small, and spacing reads tight, producing a dense, poster-ready color. Overall proportions are consistent enough for text lines, while individual letters retain hand-made variation and roughness.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where texture and mood are the priority—posters, Halloween and seasonal promotions, haunted-house signage, horror or thriller packaging, and title treatments for games or video content. It can work for subheads in themed layouts, but is most effective when given room and strong contrast against the background.
The font projects a classic spooky, haunted-house tone with a playful, B‑movie sensibility. Its distressed edges and subtle drips evoke darkness, grime, and suspense without becoming purely illegible, making it feel more theatrical than truly menacing.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through distressed, drip-tinged letterforms and a dense, ink-heavy presence. It balances a readable basic skeleton with deliberately rough finishing to create an instant spooky display voice.
The distressed treatment is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping a unified texture in mixed settings. The sample text shows strong impact at larger sizes, while the rugged contours and tight apertures suggest readability will drop quickly as sizes shrink.
