This font presents a narrow, upright letterform set with visibly roughened contours and uneven stroke edges, as if ink bled on textured paper or the shapes were scraped into a surface. Strokes taper and swell subtly, with occasional nicks, notches, and interior scarring that create a distressed texture across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs and terminals often resolve into sharp wedges or hooked tips rather than clean slabs, and curves are slightly faceted, giving round letters a carved, irregular silhouette. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a handmade rhythm while keeping the overall structure readable.
Best suited to display applications where the distressed detailing can read clearly: horror and thriller titling, album and merch graphics, posters, festival or event flyers, and game or streaming key art. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging accents, or signage-style headers when a rough, handmade mood is desired.
The tone reads dark and gritty, with a theatrical, slightly ominous flavor that evokes old broadsides, occult ephemera, and worn signage. The distressed finish adds urgency and attitude, leaning toward punk zines and horror titling rather than polite editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a narrow, old-style display structure with a deliberately degraded surface treatment, creating letters that feel printed, worn, and slightly carved. The goal is character and atmosphere over neutrality, producing a strong stylistic voice for high-impact headlines.
The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, so it becomes more prominent as sizes increase; at small sizes, the rough edges can visually thicken and busy up counters. Numerals and capitals carry the same weathered treatment, supporting cohesive titling systems where the distressed effect is meant to be seen.
