A distressed display serif with irregular, torn-looking contours and uneven stroke edges that suggest worn ink or eroded letterforms. Stems and serifs are sturdy but visibly roughened, with small bite-like indentations and lumpy outer profiles that create a mottled silhouette. Counters are generally open and readable, though their inner edges also wobble, adding texture without collapsing the shapes. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, imperfect rhythm, while the overall structure stays upright and stable for short text settings.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where the distressed detail can be appreciated—such as horror film titles, thriller book covers, haunted attraction posters, Halloween promotions, and gritty game branding. It can also work for packaging or labels that want a worn, ominous look, but will be most effective at larger sizes where the rough edges remain legible.
The texture and ragged perimeter give the face an unsettling, weathered mood—like a haunted broadside, a cryptic label, or a scorched typewriter imprint. It reads as ominous and cinematic rather than playful, pairing well with horror and mystery themes where roughness and tension are part of the atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif skeleton with a deliberately degraded surface, creating an aged, unsettling voice that still holds together in text. Its goal is atmosphere: readable forms first, then a heavy layer of erosion and ink-grit for character.
Capitals feel blocky and headline-forward, while the lowercase maintains a clear baseline and straightforward proportions despite the distressed treatment. Numerals share the same chiseled/eroded effect, keeping visual consistency across mixed-content lines.
