A heavy display face built from chunky, high-contrast forms with aggressively distressed, torn-looking edges. Strokes are thick but broken by sharp notches, spikes, and irregular bite marks that create a rough, hand-cut silhouette. Terminals frequently taper into points or ragged shreds, while counters stay relatively open for a dense, poster-ready texture. Overall rhythm is uneven by design, with slightly inconsistent sidebearings and rugged outlines that keep the word shape lively and abrasive.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween branding, film or podcast titles, haunted attraction materials, metal or dark-ambient album art, and game UI elements like chapter headings or achievement banners. It also works for merch graphics where a distressed, sinister texture is desired.
The lettering reads ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, cursed manuscripts, and pulpy monster-movie graphics. Its jagged erosion and knife-like terminals add tension and urgency, giving text a gritty, haunted energy rather than a polished finish.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a bold blackletter-like structure that’s been aggressively distressed, combining medieval weight and angularity with torn, ink-splattered irregularity for a hostile, supernatural feel.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest silhouette impact, while lowercase and numerals maintain the same shredded edge language for consistent texture in longer lines. The font holds up best when given room—tight tracking can cause the rough contours to visually merge, especially in dense words and at smaller sizes.
