A distressed display face with irregular, ragged outlines that read like torn paper or heavy ink bleed. Strokes are mostly monolinear but wobble in thickness, with frequent nicks, spikes, and cratered counters that create a rough silhouette. Terminals are blunt and broken rather than cleanly finished, and curves often look chipped or scalloped. The overall construction stays upright and fairly compact, but each glyph shows slight width and contour variation that adds a handmade, degraded rhythm across words and lines.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house signage, game title screens, and punchy poster or flyer headlines. It can also work for brief pull quotes or chapter openers where the distressed texture is meant to be a key visual element.
The letterforms project an ominous, unsteady mood—like something decaying, scratched into a surface, or printed from a damaged plate. The texture adds tension and a bit of pulp-horror theatrics, making the tone feel intentionally unsettling rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through aggressive texture and irregular silhouettes, prioritizing character and tension over neutral readability. It aims to evoke decay, dripping ink, or clawed edges while remaining structurally familiar enough for quick recognition in display use.
In paragraph samples the texture becomes the dominant feature, so it performs best when given enough size or spacing for the irregular edges and counters to remain legible. Round characters like O/0 and letters with bowls (B, P, R) show especially pronounced chipping, reinforcing the rough, organic consistency.
