Keywords: posters, album covers, horror, game titles, event flyers, gothic, aggressive, grunge, punk, menacing, distressed impact, dark branding, textured display, edgy titling, ragged edges, torn, brushy, spiky, angular.
A very heavy, forward-leaning display face with compact, rounded letter bodies that are consistently disrupted by jagged, torn-looking edges and sharp nicks. Strokes read as carved or roughly brushed, with uneven terminals and small bite-like cutouts that create a distressed silhouette while maintaining solid interior counters. Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase retains the same chunky construction with slightly more bounce and irregularity; overall spacing feels tight and massed, emphasizing a strong black texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, bold settings where texture and mood are more important than extended readability—such as posters, album or merch graphics, game or film titling, and Halloween/horror promotional materials. It can also work for logos or badges when used large enough for the distressed details to remain intentional rather than muddy.
The font projects a rough, gothic energy—dark, gritty, and confrontational—combining medieval-leaning sharpness with a distressed, streetwise attitude. Its texture suggests abrasion and motion, giving headlines a volatile, high-impact feel.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact gothic display voice with a deliberately distressed, torn-edge finish, balancing chunky readability with aggressive texture for dramatic titling.
The distressed treatment is applied consistently across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive “ripped” edge effect rather than random noise. At smaller sizes the heavy fill and broken contours can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the silhouette and texture become a key part of the visual identity.
