A heavily distressed display face with compact proportions and a dense, inked-in silhouette. Strokes are thick and irregular, with torn, notched edges and frequent droplet-like protrusions that create a smeared or melting contour. Counters are small and uneven, and terminals often end in blunted, lumpy shapes rather than clean cuts. The rhythm is intentionally unruly, mixing angular blackletter-like suggestions with blobbed, eroded details, producing a jagged texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications where texture is a feature: horror or Halloween headlines, event posters, album/merch graphics, game or stream branding, and edgy packaging. It works especially well when set large, with ample tracking and contrast against clean backgrounds.
The overall tone is macabre and playful at once—evoking horror poster lettering, slime, and lowbrow punk grit. Its messy edges and dripping forms feel loud, mischievous, and deliberately over-the-top, leaning toward campy shock and B-movie theatrics rather than polished elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable distressed effect—like ink that has bled, chipped, and dripped—while keeping glyphs bold enough to read at display sizes. The goal is visual character over neutrality, creating a loud, irregular voice for themed or expressive typography.
In text settings the font creates a strong, noisy texture; interior space can close up and letterforms can visually merge at smaller sizes. The uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed language, giving copy a consistent “splatter” footprint, while numerals carry the same blobby, eroded massing for cohesive titling.
