A distressed display face with jagged, brushy outlines and frequent drip-like terminals that create a wet-ink silhouette. Strokes are high-contrast and irregular, with fractured edges and occasional gaps that make counters feel chewed or eroded. Letterforms loosely echo blackletter proportions in places, but the construction is intentionally unstable, with uneven widths, wobbly baselines, and inconsistent joins that amplify the rough, handmade texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same blotchy, torn-paper rhythm, prioritizing character over uniformity.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror and Halloween promotions, album/mixtape covers, game or film titles, and gritty event flyers. It can also work for logo-style wordmarks where a distressed, dripping texture is central to the identity, especially when set at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is dark, eerie, and mischievous—like ink smeared across a haunted poster. Its distressed textures and dangling drips suggest horror, occult ephemera, and underground zine aesthetics, delivering an energetic, unsettling vibe rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a deliberately messy, dripping-ink look that feels hand-rendered and unsettling. The intent appears to be maximum personality and atmosphere—evoking decay and chaos—rather than typographic neutrality or continuous-text comfort.
Readability varies by glyph due to the extreme distressing and variable interior shapes; the font works best when the texture is allowed to be part of the message. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and dramatic contrast, but fine details can merge at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
