A distressed display face with chunky, irregular strokes and aggressively ragged contours. Letterforms are compact and weighty, with uneven edges that look torn or chewed away, creating a lively, unstable silhouette from glyph to glyph. Counters are often pinched and irregular, terminals end in blunt nubs or sharp spurs, and curves wobble with a hand-worn, inked texture. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally inconsistent, emphasizing a rough, organic presence over typographic refinement.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, event posters, game and film key art, and seasonal promotions where texture and mood are prioritized. It can also work for logos or packaging that want a distressed, ominous tone, particularly when given generous size and spacing.
The font projects an eerie, gritty atmosphere—more unsettling than playful—through its jagged edges and splintered shapes. It evokes horror ephemera like battered posters, occult pamphlets, or handmade warning signs, where the imperfect texture is part of the mood. The tone is tense and dramatic, with a raw, handmade energy.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere via a heavily distressed silhouette, mimicking worn ink and ripped paper edges. Its irregular contours and uneven internal spaces suggest a deliberate move away from clean construction toward a handcrafted, unsettling display voice.
At larger sizes the silhouette texture reads clearly and adds character, while at smaller sizes the roughness can fill in counters and reduce clarity, especially in dense text. The numerals and uppercase share the same torn-edge language, supporting cohesive titling across letters and figures.
