A slanted, calligraphic display face with tapered strokes and sharp, blade-like terminals. Letterforms show medium contrast with wedge-shaped entries and exits, mixing smooth curves with sudden angular breaks that create a scratchy rhythm. Counters are generally open but often pinched by pointed joins, and many characters feature small spurs and hooks that give the outlines a cut, chiseled feel. Numerals and capitals maintain the same energetic, knife-edged logic, producing a cohesive, highly stylized texture in text.
Well suited for horror and dark-fantasy display work such as film titles, game logos, event posters, and seasonal promotions. It can also add character to short headings, pull quotes, and packaging or labels where an eerie, hand-cut calligraphic voice is desired. For best clarity, use generous size and spacing to keep the pointed terminals from visually clumping.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, dark fantasy signage, and occult ephemera. Its sharp tapers and irregular, slicing contours add tension and motion, making lines feel unsettled and suspenseful rather than polite or neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a fast, sharp-edged pen or brush gesture into a spooky display style. By combining italic motion with daggered terminals and uneven angular interruptions, it aims to deliver immediate mood and strong silhouette impact in headlines and themed branding.
Distinctive dagger terminals and occasional notched strokes create strong silhouette recognition, especially in capitals. The texture becomes more animated in longer passages as the slant and spiky details build a lively, slightly chaotic pattern, suggesting best performance at larger sizes where the fine points can breathe.
