A distressed display face with jagged, brush-like strokes and irregular contours that mimic dry-brush ink and torn edges. Letterforms show uneven terminals, occasional spur-like protrusions, and a slightly unstable baseline feel, while counters remain mostly open for readability. Capitals mix broad, rounded bowls with sharp, flicked tips; diagonals and joins often appear roughened or splintered. Lowercase is compact with a relatively short x-height and simple, handwritten construction, keeping forms recognizable while preserving the gritty texture. Numerals follow the same inky, worn treatment with visibly uneven curves and occasional hooked ends.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween and event promotions, album or band branding, and game/film key art where texture is part of the message. It can also work for labels, packaging accents, or UI headings when an eerie, distressed voice is desired.
The overall tone is dark and atmospheric, evoking horror, occult ephemera, and gritty genre graphics. The rough texture and scratchy finishing lend an ominous, handmade energy that feels more like a prop or title card than polished typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable display alphabet with an aggressive, weathered brush texture—suggesting hand-made signage or distressed print—while keeping core letter shapes familiar for quick recognition.
Texture is consistent across the set, with distressed edges doing most of the stylistic work rather than extreme deformation, which helps maintain legibility in short lines. The irregular stroke endings create a lively rhythm, but dense paragraphs may feel visually noisy compared to cleaner display faces.
