A heavy, ink-saturated display face with jagged, irregular contours and frequent interior nicks that suggest worn printing or distressed carving. Strokes are broadly consistent in weight but break into rough, toothy edges, creating a mottled silhouette and uneven counters. The overall construction leans toward blocky, serif-tinged forms with compact proportions and a slightly inconsistent baseline feel, giving lines of text a lively, battered rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same torn texture and uneven terminals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and cover art where the distressed silhouette can read clearly. It also works well for themed packaging, signage, and game or film graphics that call for a worn, spooky, or gritty aesthetic, especially when set at larger sizes.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—part vintage poster, part horror prop—with a handmade roughness that feels loud and tactile. Its distressed texture adds tension and drama, making even neutral phrases feel more intense and atmospheric.
The design appears intended to mimic degraded print or eroded lettering—delivering a dramatic, high-contrast silhouette through texture rather than fine stroke modulation. Its goal is atmosphere and impact, prioritizing character and grit over smoothness and neutrality.
In continuous text the texture becomes a dominant feature, with small notches and irregular counters creating strong visual noise; it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes. The rough edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a cohesive tone despite the intentional irregularities.
