A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, torn-looking edges and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are broadly monolinear but vary subtly as if cut from paper or stamped with uneven pressure, creating small nicks, flares, and blunt terminals. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and many glyphs show carved-in notches or ragged bite marks that add texture without fully breaking the silhouettes. The overall construction stays upright and readable, with simplified forms and occasional exaggerated angles in diagonals and joins.
Best suited to display sizes where the rough edge texture can be appreciated: posters, titles, short headlines, and branding accents for seasonal or themed materials. It also works for packaging and event flyers that benefit from a handmade, slightly menacing personality. For longer text, larger point sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The texture and chiseled silhouettes give a mischievous, spooky tone that reads as horror-leaning but more playful than grim. It evokes handmade props and rough production—good for creature-feature energy, Halloween atmospheres, and dramatic, attention-grabbing headlines.
Designed to deliver immediate impact through weight and texture, combining sturdy, readable letterforms with intentionally distressed contours. The goal appears to be a themed display font that feels crafted and irregular, adding atmosphere and attitude without sacrificing basic legibility.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rough treatment, with the lowercase retaining sturdy, simplified shapes rather than delicate details. Numerals are bold and graphic, matching the same torn-edge motif, making the set feel cohesive for short bursts of text.
