A distressed, hand-rendered serif with ragged outlines and uneven stroke edges that look torn or eroded. Letterforms keep a generally upright stance and readable skeleton, but their contours wobble and chip, creating a gritty, organic texture. Stems and joins are inconsistently thickened, with occasional blunt terminals and rough, serrated-looking edges; counters remain fairly open, helping legibility despite the heavy distressing. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably, reinforcing the handmade rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is a feature: horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, album art, game titles, or chapter headings. It can work for brief blurbs and taglines at larger sizes, but the distressed detail will reduce clarity in small text or low-resolution reproduction.
The font conveys an ominous, weathered tone—like ink dragged across rough paper or lettering scraped onto an old surface. Its irregular edges and jittery rhythm create tension and unease, making even neutral text feel unsettling and slightly chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a controlled, readable serif structure while layering on a pronounced distressed treatment to create a rough, eerie atmosphere. It prioritizes mood and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic signaling in display typography.
In running text the distressed perimeter becomes the dominant visual feature, producing a dark, speckled color on the line. The roughness is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture feels intentional rather than incidental, while still preserving recognizable letter identities.
