A condensed, all-caps-forward display face with heavy vertical stems and irregular, eroded edges. The contours look carved and torn, with frequent spike-like terminals and small drip or fang-shaped protrusions at the baseline and along inner counters. Stroke endings are inconsistent by design—some squared, some sharply tapered—creating a rough rhythm while maintaining a mostly upright, poster-like structure. Counters are tight and angular, and the overall texture reads dark and dense, with slight per-glyph width variation that keeps words looking jagged rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where the jagged edges and drip-like details can be read clearly—horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and thriller or metal-themed album art. It also works well for short, punchy headlines in games, streaming thumbnails, and merchandise graphics where an intentionally gritty texture is desirable.
The font conveys a menacing, grindhouse mood—part horror title card, part distressed stamp. Its sharp points and downward “drips” suggest decay, danger, and theatrical suspense, leaning into a deliberately rough, hand-worn aesthetic rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through distressed, spiked silhouettes and a dense condensed build. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutrality, using erosion and drip forms to evoke a worn, ominous surface while keeping letterforms recognizable for headline use.
The distressed detailing is strong enough that small sizes may close up, especially in letters with narrow counters (e.g., B, R, S) and in numerals with tight interior shapes. Spacing looks naturally tight for impact, and the irregular silhouettes create a lively, uneven word texture that is best showcased with ample size and contrast against clean backgrounds.
