A jagged, distressed display face with heavy silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes appear as torn, ink-blotted forms with sharp nicks, bite-like notches, and frayed terminals that create a choppy rhythm across words. Letterforms are loosely constructed with uneven curves and inconsistent inner counters, producing a deliberately unstable texture; diagonals and verticals wobble slightly, reinforcing a handmade, degraded print feel. Spacing reads fairly open for a display cut, helping the dense black shapes remain legible despite the rough edges.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror film titles, haunted event promotions, spooky posters, game or streaming thumbnails, and album/merch graphics. It can also work for packaging or signage where a distressed, ominous voice is needed and the type will be set large enough to preserve clarity.
The font projects a menacing, unsettling tone—like aged horror titling or a cursed broadside poster. Its gritty texture and spiked edges evoke danger, decay, and supernatural theatrics rather than refinement. The overall impression is loud, dramatic, and intentionally unpolished.
The design intent reads as a dramatic display font engineered to deliver instant atmosphere through distressed edges and aggressive, irregular silhouettes. It prioritizes texture and mood over typographic neutrality, aiming to look like damaged ink or torn material in a controlled, repeatable alphabet.
In longer lines, the distressed perimeter creates a strong surface noise that becomes a primary visual feature; readability holds best at larger sizes where the torn details resolve cleanly. Numerals match the same rough, irregular construction, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
