A slanted, calligraphic display face with sharp, spurred terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than constructed. Strokes taper aggressively into points, with angular joins and occasional blade-like hooks that create a jagged rhythm. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, and curves often resolve into faceted edges instead of smooth bowls, giving letters a tense, restless texture. Numerals follow the same incised, tapered logic, staying bold and readable while retaining the signature spikes and angled stress.
Best used at display sizes where the spurs and tapered cuts can be appreciated—titles, chapter headers, film or game branding, and event posters. It also works for short bursts of copy on themed packaging or invitations, where atmosphere matters more than prolonged readability.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, suggesting old-world menace and ritualistic storytelling. Its pointed terminals and uneven, cut-stone energy evoke danger and suspense more than elegance, making it feel suited to eerie or supernatural themes.
The design appears intended to mimic an incised, blade-cut or clawed calligraphic hand, prioritizing mood and character. Its consistent spiked terminals and angular stress aim to deliver an instantly recognizable, sinister texture for themed display typography.
The italic slant and varying stroke emphasis create lively word shapes, but the frequent spikes and tight interior spaces increase visual noise at smaller sizes. In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent texture across mixed case, with uppercase forms reading as especially emblematic and crest-like.
