A distressed, blackletter-leaning display face with jagged, torn contours and sharp, thorny terminals. Stems and bowls are broken into uneven silhouettes, with high-contrast stroke behavior that creates sudden pinches and flared wedges. The italic slant and variable glyph widths produce an unsettled rhythm, while counters are often tight and irregular, enhancing the rough, eroded texture. Overall spacing reads compact and dense, with strong black fill and aggressive edge detail that dominates at headline sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as horror and fantasy titles, poster headlines, game/stream graphics, haunted-event promotions, and thematic packaging. It performs well when large enough for the torn edges and sharp terminals to read as intentional texture, and when paired with simpler supporting type for body copy.
The font projects an ominous, ritualistic tone—more cursed manuscript than polished signage. Its spiked edges and gnawed outlines feel hostile and unstable, suggesting danger, dread, and a supernatural or occult atmosphere. The uneven texture adds a gritty, handmade menace that reads as intentionally chaotic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to evoke a corrupted gothic manuscript aesthetic—combining blackletter structure with aggressive distressing to create a threatening, supernatural display voice. The italic lean and irregular widths reinforce motion and unease, making the font feel restless and volatile.
Uppercase forms tend to be squat and heavy with fractured shoulders, while lowercase maintains a similarly distressed construction with narrow joins and edgy terminals. Numerals match the same torn silhouette, keeping the set visually cohesive. The overall texture can reduce clarity at small sizes, where the interior breaks and sharp protrusions begin to crowd the letterforms.
