A condensed, upright display design with tall lowercase proportions and uneven, ink-worn contours. Strokes are generally firm and dark but repeatedly broken by ragged sides, soft nicks, and occasional swollen terminals that create a stamped or letterpressed impression. Counters are tight and sometimes irregular, while verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the line a tense, compressed cadence with visible texture throughout.
Best suited to posters, film titles, book covers, game branding, and event graphics where a spooky or macabre tone is desired. It works well for short headlines, logos, and packaging accents that benefit from a distressed, vintage-print feel. For longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the rough detailing and tight counters can breathe.
This face projects an eerie, distressed mood with a handmade, unsettling energy. The irregular edges and blotchy texture evoke aged print, occult ephemera, and low-fi horror titling. Overall it feels gritty and theatrical rather than polished or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through deliberate degradation—like ink that bled, cracked, or was printed from worn type. Its condensed structure supports big, punchy headlines, while the rough texture adds narrative character associated with dark or mysterious themes.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “worn ink” voice. Numerals follow the same condensed, irregular construction, helping maintain the tone in dates and pricing. The overall spacing and narrow build encourage compact compositions with strong vertical emphasis.
