A decorative display face built from chunky, sculpted strokes with sharp, thorn-like terminals and frequent wedge serifs. Letterforms show angular shoulders, notched joins, and inward cuts that create a carved silhouette, producing an uneven, lively rhythm across words. Counters are compact and often pinched, while ascenders and descenders end in pointed hooks or flares. Numerals and capitals maintain the same jagged, chiseled language, keeping the set visually consistent at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween headlines, haunted-attraction materials, dark-fantasy game titles, and dramatic poster typography. It can also work for logos, packaging accents, or chapter/title treatments where a sinister, ornamental voice is desired.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, with a medieval-gothic flavor pushed into a more menacing, horror-leaning direction. The spurs, spikes, and abrupt tapers suggest danger and mystery, making the text feel like it belongs to cursed signage or a dark-fantasy title card.
The design appears intended to blend gothic/blackletter cues with exaggerated spikes and flared cuts to create a legible-but-menacing display texture. Its consistent use of sharp terminals and carved notches aims to deliver instant atmosphere and genre signaling in headlines.
The texture is intentionally irregular: some letters widen into heavy wedges while others narrow into knife-like stems, creating a restless color on the line. Small sizes may lose interior detail due to tight counters and sharp notches, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic terminals and carved edges.
