A distressed display face with jagged, knife-like terminals and uneven, brushy contours. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with frequent tapering into sharp points, giving many letters a splintered silhouette. Edges look torn and ink-blotted, with occasional drip-like descenders and spikes that extend beyond typical bounds. Spacing and widths feel intentionally irregular, creating a restless rhythm while maintaining clear, uppercase-forward letterforms.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as horror film titles, Halloween campaigns, game or escape-room branding, and dramatic posters or flyers. It also works well for album art, book covers, and packaging that benefits from a gritty, unsettling voice. For readability, it performs strongest at larger sizes where the distressed edges and spikes can be appreciated without filling in.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, haunted-house signage, and grim, ink-smeared lettering. Its sharp tapers and sporadic drips add tension and a sense of motion, as if the letters were scratched or painted quickly under stress. The texture reads as raw and gritty rather than polished, amplifying a macabre, suspenseful mood.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, hand-rendered lettering with aggressive tapers and ink-bled roughness, optimized for atmospheric display typography. Its irregular rhythm and sharp terminals prioritize mood and texture, delivering immediate genre signaling for dark, suspense, and supernatural themes.
The alphabet shows consistent stylistic motifs—pointed terminals, rough stroke edges, and occasional elongated descenders—yet individual glyphs retain hand-drawn variance. Numerals match the same distressed, tapered treatment and remain legible at display sizes. The set favors impact over even color, so blocks of text appear intentionally uneven and animated.
