A condensed display face built from heavy, inky strokes that taper into sharp points and occasional drip-like terminals. Letterforms are irregular and hand-rendered in feel, with wobbly outlines, uneven stroke edges, and frequent internal cut-ins that create a carved, distressed silhouette. Counters tend to be small and pinched, while verticals dominate the rhythm; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a restless, uneven texture. Numerals match the same jagged, bleeding-taper construction for consistent impact.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as titles, headers, and logotypes where texture and mood are the priority. It works well on posters, packaging, thumbnails, and event graphics that benefit from an unsettling, hand-inked horror aesthetic, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is sinister and theatrical, evoking classic horror posters, haunted-house signage, and occult ephemera. Its aggressive spikes and smeared edges suggest tension, danger, and supernatural atmosphere rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated tapering, drip-like terminals, and distressed contours, prioritizing atmosphere and visual punch over continuous readability. Its condensed proportions help stack long words tightly while keeping a tall, looming presence on the page.
In running text the tight, condensed forms create dense black bands, and the irregular contours add visual noise that reads as intentional distress. The uppercase carries the strongest presence for titling, while the lowercase retains the same spiked/ink-drip vocabulary and can feel more chaotic at smaller sizes.
