An all-caps–forward serif design with sharply cut, irregular contours and deliberately distressed edges. Strokes show chiseled breaks, notches, and bite-like voids that create a rough print/ink-worn texture, while maintaining a mostly traditional upright skeleton. Serifs are wedge-like and inconsistent, terminals often taper to points or end abruptly, and curved letters (C, G, O, Q) appear slightly faceted rather than smoothly drawn. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, giving the line a restless rhythm; numerals follow the same eroded, uneven treatment with angular joins and fractured bowls.
Best suited to display applications where texture and atmosphere are the priority—horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, album and book covers, and game branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or headers when paired with a simpler text face for readability.
The overall tone is ominous and gritty, evoking aged signage, cursed ephemera, and horror title lettering. Its distressed finish reads as timeworn and uneasy rather than playful, adding tension even in neutral text.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif structure with aggressive distressing, creating legible letterforms that still feel damaged, carved, or corrupted. The variable rhythm and chipped edges emphasize mood and narrative over typographic neutrality.
The distress pattern is strong enough to become part of the letterforms, producing a textured silhouette that stands out at display sizes. In longer sample lines the irregularity adds character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters and joins are heavily broken.
