This typeface uses a rough, distressed stroke that looks inked and abraded, with irregular edges and small bite-like notches throughout. Letterforms are largely simple and upright with low-to-moderate modulation, but their contours wobble subtly, creating a handmade rhythm. Terminals often end in blunt, torn shapes rather than clean cuts, and bowls and counters stay fairly open despite the heavy texturing. Overall spacing feels slightly uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing the weathered, organic texture in both the uppercase and lowercase.
It works best for display applications where texture is a feature: horror and thriller titles, poster headlines, spooky event promotions, and game or film branding elements. Short passages and pull quotes can also work when set large enough to preserve counter clarity and keep the distressed edges from filling in.
The texture and jagged silhouettes convey an eerie, worn-in tone—like aged print, scorched parchment, or something stamped in a hurry. It reads as ominous and uncanny rather than playful, with a ritualistic, storybook-dark atmosphere.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, corrupted ink forms—balancing familiar, readable structures with a deliberately eroded outline to create tension and atmosphere. It prioritizes mood and texture over pristine regularity, aiming for a handcrafted, unsettling presence in display settings.
At text sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a dominant feature, so the font benefits from generous size and simpler backgrounds. Numerals match the same ragged construction and keep a consistent, gritty color on the line.
