A heavy display face with compact proportions and aggressively irregular edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but the contours are intentionally broken up with torn, bite-like notches and occasional drip-shaped terminals that hang below the baseline. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, while curves and joins are simplified into blunt, angular-ish forms that keep the silhouette bold and readable. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is uneven by design, driven by jagged outlines rather than precise geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and game or streaming thumbnails. The heavy weight and rugged outlines hold up well in large display sizes where the torn-and-drip texture can be read clearly.
The letterforms project a horror-poster energy—dark, unsettling, and a bit playful in a B-movie way. The distressed, melting details evoke decay and suspense, giving headlines a haunted, creature-feature tone that reads as intentionally rough rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through a bold silhouette and a consistent distressed/dripping treatment. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact over smooth text color, aiming to make even simple words feel ominous and weathered.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed treatment, creating a consistent “ripped stencil” texture across text. Numerals follow the same irregular perimeter language, and the most distinctive effect comes from the intermittent droops and chipped-in edges that create a lively, noisy silhouette at larger sizes.
