A heavy, upright display face with chunky silhouettes and aggressively irregular, serrated contours. Strokes read as rough-edged and torn, with frequent thorn-like spikes and chipped terminals that create a vibrating outline against the background. Counters are uneven and sometimes partially pinched, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanical, contributing to an intentionally unstable rhythm. The overall construction remains broadly blocky and legible, but the edges are consistently distressed to the point of becoming the dominant visual feature.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the jagged distressing can be appreciated—posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and themed promotional graphics. It can also work for in-world signage or UI labels in horror or dark-fantasy games, especially when set with extra spacing for clarity.
The texture and spiky erosion give the font an ominous, hazard-sign energy—suggesting decay, grime, and something feral or supernatural. It carries a camp-horror tone that can swing between spooky fun and genuinely threatening depending on color, scale, and context.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through edge treatment: a conventional, blocky letter skeleton made unsettling by torn, spiked erosion. The goal is impact and mood over neutrality, giving designers a fast route to a distressed, horror-leaning voice without complex styling.
In text samples, the rough perimeter creates strong dark mass and a noisy texture line-to-line; it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes where the serrations read as intentional detail rather than blur. The figures match the same distressed logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for short numeric callouts.
