A distressed serif display face with heavily eroded outlines, jagged spikes, and uneven contours that make each glyph feel chipped and bitten away. Strokes are generally sturdy, but the edges break into irregular notches and splatters, creating a rough inked texture rather than clean curves. Serifs read as sharp, thorn-like points, and counters are often lumpy and partially occluded, giving the alphabet a rugged, weathered rhythm. The overall construction stays legible in text while maintaining an intentionally chaotic perimeter.
Best used for titles, logos, and short display copy where the distressed silhouette can carry the mood—such as Halloween promotions, horror or dark-fantasy packaging, event posters, album/merch graphics, and game headings. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set larger, where the rough edges remain intentional rather than cluttered.
The tone is eerie and mischievous, mixing horror-like bite marks with a handmade, grunge energy. It suggests old curses, Halloween ephemera, and punky DIY graphics—more unsettling and quirky than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a gnawed, corroded print look—like ink stamped onto rough paper and then scraped or torn—while preserving recognizable serif letterforms. Its aim is to deliver character and atmosphere through an animated, damaged outline rather than through strict typographic refinement.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with many terminals flaring into small spikes and nicks that add visual noise. In longer lines, the rough silhouette creates a lively, vibrating color, so spacing and readability feel better suited to short bursts than dense paragraph settings.
