A jagged, angular display face built from slim, tapered strokes with pronounced, knife-like terminals. Letterforms feel hand-cut and irregular, with sharp corners, occasional notches, and abrupt changes in stroke direction that create a scratchy rhythm. Curves are minimized or faceted into polygonal arcs, and counters tend to be narrow and uneven, reinforcing a brittle, carved look. The overall texture is light and wiry, with uneven widths across glyphs and a lively, slightly unstable baseline color in text settings.
Best suited for short display settings where the spiky silhouettes can read clearly—titles, logos, posters, packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for atmospheric pull quotes or chapter heads when used with ample size and spacing, but its irregular, serrated detailing is less suited to long passages of small text.
The font reads as ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, occult ephemera, and haunted-house signage. Its spikes and abrupt tapers suggest danger and tension, while the handmade irregularity adds a ritualistic, weathered character rather than a polished blackletter formality.
The design appears intended to deliver an unsettling, hand-wrought tone through chiseled geometry and aggressive terminals, prioritizing mood and silhouette over smooth readability. Its consistent angular language across cases and numerals suggests it was drawn to function as a cohesive horror-themed display alphabet.
In continuous text the sharp terminals create a bristling edge that draws attention, and the narrow interiors can visually close up at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same carved, faceted construction, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive and intentionally rough.
