A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face with compact proportions and assertive, wedge-like terminals. Strokes feel carved and faceted, with sharp tapers, notched joins, and occasional hooked spur details that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are generally small and tight, and the rhythm is intentionally irregular, with pronounced angularity and uneven edge tension that reads more hand-cut than mechanically uniform. Figures follow the same chiseled logic, with strong diagonals and pointed corners that keep the numerals visually consistent with the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its angular texture can be appreciated—movie titles, spooky-season promotions, haunted attraction branding, game UI/title screens, and dramatic packaging or labels. It can also work for logo marks or wordmarks that need an immediate gothic-horror signal, but is less appropriate for body copy or small UI text.
The overall tone is dark and ominous, evoking horror signage, haunted ephemera, and gothic storytelling. Its spurs and knife-edged tapers add a sense of danger and drama, while the blackletter undertone suggests ritual, legend, and old-world menace. The effect is attention-grabbing and theatrical rather than refined.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter heritage with a more exaggerated, horror-oriented edge treatment, prioritizing silhouette, sharp terminals, and a distressed, cut-from-shadow feeling. Its consistent spiky vocabulary across letters and numerals suggests a deliberate focus on thematic impact and display readability at poster scales.
At larger sizes the notches, hooks, and faceted terminals become key character features; at smaller sizes those details can visually merge and increase texture density. The uppercase has a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase retains the same aggressive edge language for consistent mood in longer words.
