A distressed display face with heavily irregular, jagged contours that make each letter look torn or eroded. Strokes are generally sturdy but wobble in outline, with uneven terminals and rough inner counters that create a gritty texture at both headline and text sample sizes. The design reads as an upright, compact serif-like structure with simplified, blocky forms, while widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph and spacing feels intentionally uneven for an unstable rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same shredded edge treatment, reinforcing the overall rough, hand-affected finish.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and atmosphere are desirable—such as Halloween graphics, horror or mystery posters, game and streaming titles, comic-style headings, album/merch artwork, and themed packaging. It can work for brief pull quotes or signage when used large enough to preserve the distressed detail and paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The tone is eerie and mischievous, balancing horror-poster grit with a quirky, cartoon-rough energy. Its broken edges and restless rhythm suggest decay, noise, and handcrafted imperfection, making it feel more like a prop or effect than a neutral text tool.
Likely intended as an effect-driven, one-off display font that simulates a rough, torn, or corroded ink edge while retaining familiar serif-like letter skeletons. The goal appears to be instant character and mood through texture, with deliberate irregularity to avoid a mechanical feel.
The textured silhouette is the primary feature; at smaller sizes the jagged perimeter can visually fill in and reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the torn-edge detail becomes the main personality. The strong black shape and uneven counters give it a high-impact, poster-like presence even without extreme weight.
