A heavy, chunky display face with highly irregular, jagged contours that make each letterform feel torn or eroded. Strokes are broad with mostly blunt terminals, but the outlines wobble and chip inward and outward, creating a gritty silhouette and uneven counters. The construction is generally upright and readable, with simple, sturdy shapes; the texture is driven by the rough perimeter rather than interior detail, producing a consistent “chewed” edge across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and entertainment graphics. It can also work for game UI labels or chapter heads where a gritty, spooky tone is desired, but it will read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed edges don’t clog.
The distressed, gnawed edges and blotchy black massing give the font an eerie, low-fi mood that reads as horror-adjacent without becoming overly ornate. It suggests pulp posters, haunted ephemera, and DIY spooky graphics—more gritty and playful than elegant or refined.
The design intent appears to be a bold display alphabet that communicates a rough, unsettling atmosphere through aggressively distressed outlines while keeping the underlying letter skeleton straightforward for quick recognition.
Letter spacing appears relatively open in the sample, helping the rough silhouettes stay legible at display sizes. The texture is consistent enough to feel like a deliberate stylistic treatment, but irregular enough to add tension and visual noise, especially in rounded forms (O, C, G) and verticals (I, l, 1).
