A heavy display face with thick, irregular strokes and aggressively distressed contours. Letterforms are generally upright and blocky but carved into by notches, bite-like chunks, and occasional drip-like protrusions, creating a turbulent silhouette and uneven rhythm. Counters are often partially clogged or asymmetrical, and terminals vary from blunt to torn, as if stamped or smeared with wet ink. Overall spacing and texture read intentionally inconsistent, prioritizing impact and texture over clean, geometric precision.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction signage, game and film graphics, and gritty poster or packaging headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where an eerie texture is desired, but it benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve legibility.
The font projects a horror-leaning, haunted mood with a gritty, handmade energy. Its ragged edges and splattered interruptions feel like torn paper, scratched paint, or ink bleeding on a poster—dramatic, ominous, and slightly playful in a B-movie way. The result is attention-grabbing and atmospheric, suited to spooky or macabre storytelling.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror atmosphere through heavy weight and extreme distressing, mimicking torn, dripping, or splattered ink edges. It focuses on silhouette drama and texture to create a themed display voice that reads like handmade or weathered lettering.
The distressed treatment is strong enough that small sizes and dense paragraphs can lose clarity, especially where interior spaces close up and edges fragment. Numerals match the same rough, eroded style, keeping a consistent distressed texture across the set.
