A rough, hand-rendered display face with irregular stroke edges that look chipped or slightly melted, creating a consistently distressed silhouette across the alphabet. Forms are mostly simple and open with minimal internal detailing, relying on uneven contours and occasional thorny protrusions for character. Curves are lumpy and asymmetrical, corners are blunt rather than sharp, and stroke thickness wavers subtly, giving each glyph a drawn-by-hand rhythm. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the organic, distressed texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror titles, Halloween event materials, thriller or supernatural poster headlines, and eerie game UI labels. It can also work for album art and packaging where a distressed, ominous mood is desired. For readability, it performs better in headlines or callouts than in long body copy.
The overall tone is eerie and ritualistic, like aged lettering scrawled on a warning sign or carved into weathered wood. Its jittery outlines and imperfect curves suggest tension and unease, reading as spooky rather than playful. The texture adds a grim, gritty atmosphere that suits supernatural or horror-leaning themes.
The design appears intended to evoke a spooky, handmade authenticity by pairing familiar letter structures with a deliberately degraded edge treatment. Rather than dramatic drips or extreme distortion, it focuses on a controlled roughness that keeps words legible while adding an ominous, timeworn character.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed construction, with recognizable skeletons underneath the deformation for quick identification. Numerals and round letters (0, O, Q) emphasize the wobbling perimeter effect, while verticals (I, l, t) show the most pronounced edge chatter. The font’s strength is in larger sizes where the rough contour can be appreciated without turning into noise.
