A condensed, wiry text face with irregular, eroded contours that resemble dry-brush or rough ink on absorbent paper. Strokes show consistent vertical stress but break and wobble along the edges, producing a textured silhouette and occasional nicks in counters. Terminals are often tapered or hook slightly, and the overall rhythm is uneven in a deliberate, hand-rendered way, with subtle variation in stroke thickness and letter widths. Lowercase forms feel compact and tight, while capitals are narrow and tall, with angular joins and occasional softened corners from the distressed texture.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and mood are the priority—horror and thriller titles, seasonal Halloween graphics, game or tabletop RPG branding, album/film posters, and eerie event flyers. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or labels when used at larger sizes where the distressed detailing remains clear.
The font projects a dark, uncanny mood—somewhere between vintage horror lettering and rough, improvised signage. Its distressed surface and jittery outlines create tension and grit, making text feel aged, haunted, or hastily marked. Overall, it reads as theatrical and atmospheric rather than polished or neutral.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, weathered hand lettering with a narrow footprint, delivering immediate atmosphere through distressed edges and uneven inking. It prioritizes character and thematic impact over smooth uniformity, aiming for a gritty, ominous presence in display typography.
In running text the texture remains prominent, with small interior gaps and rough edges contributing as much as the letterforms themselves. Numerals follow the same distressed logic and appear slightly inconsistent in finish, reinforcing the handmade, worn impression.
