A decorative Latin with crisp, upright letterforms that are repeatedly disrupted by irregular voids and bite-like notches, creating a distressed, cutout texture inside and along the strokes. Shapes keep broadly familiar proportions and construction, but edges feel chipped and uneven, with occasional wedge terminals and sudden stroke interruptions that vary from glyph to glyph. Counters are often partially occluded by the internal texture, and numerals follow the same eroded treatment, producing an intentionally inconsistent rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited to short display settings where the distressed texture can read clearly—posters, horror or Halloween-themed titles, event flyers, album/track artwork, and playful game or streaming graphics. It can work for headings and pull quotes, but extended paragraphs may feel visually busy and uneven in color.
The overall tone is eerie and playful at once—like worn signage or a haunted, handmade title card. Its broken interiors and jagged detailing add a sense of tension and mischief, making it feel more theatrical than formal.
The design appears intended to take a conventional skeleton and inject a rough, fragmented surface to create instant character and atmosphere. By combining readable silhouettes with irregular internal cutouts, it aims for a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice that feels handmade and theatrically worn.
The texture is not uniform: some letters appear more heavily “eaten away” than others, which amplifies the quirky, one-off character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Round forms (O/Q/0/8) show especially prominent internal void patterns that become a defining visual motif in text.
