A rough, distressed display face with irregular, torn edges and aggressive spike-like terminals. Strokes vary noticeably in thickness within each letter, creating a broken-ink, weathered silhouette rather than clean outlines. The forms are compact and upright-to-slightly-slanted with uneven baselines and inconsistent inner counters, giving the alphabet a jittery, hand-rendered rhythm. Lowercase characters stay relatively small against the capitals, while numerals and punctuation share the same battered texture and sharp, notched contours.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror posters, Halloween promotions, game titles, and ominous chapter heads. It also works for band or album artwork, packaging accents, and on-screen titling where a gritty, threatening voice is desired. Use in moderation for longer copy, pairing with a simpler text face for readability.
The overall tone reads ominous and abrasive, like lettering cut from shadowy paper or stamped with failing ink. Its gnawed contours and pointed ends suggest danger and unease, aligning well with horror and dark fantasy moods. The inconsistent edges add a frantic, uncanny energy that feels intentionally uncontrolled.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through a distressed, jagged silhouette—prioritizing mood and texture over neutrality. Its exaggerated roughness and spiky terminals are crafted to evoke fear, suspense, and decay in display-driven typography.
At text sizes the distressed detail can visually fill in, so the style is most effective when given enough scale and spacing to let the ragged perimeter remain legible. The heaviest texture concentrates at joins and terminals, which amplifies a scratched, organic look across words and headlines.
