This font uses sharp, angular letterforms with pronounced wedge-like terminals and irregular, blade-cut strokes. Curves are frequently faceted into points, giving bowls and diagonals a chiseled, broken rhythm. Stroke endings often flare or taper abruptly, creating a scratchy texture while keeping a consistent overall skeleton. Counters stay relatively open for the style, and spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way, contributing to an intentionally rough, hand-rendered cadence across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display settings such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, game branding and UI headings, poster headlines, and cover typography where texture and attitude are desired. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines or pull quotes) when set at larger sizes with generous tracking, but it is most effective as a headline or logo-style accent.
The overall tone is ominous and arcane, evoking carved sigils, haunted signage, and dark-fantasy titling. Its spiked terminals and jagged edges create tension and urgency, suggesting danger, mystery, and supernatural drama rather than everyday readability.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-cut or clawed lettering—more carved than written—by combining a stable upright structure with aggressive spikes, tapered cuts, and faceted curves. The goal is high atmospheric impact and instant genre signaling in display typography.
Capitals are highly graphic and emblematic, with several forms leaning toward runic or carved-stone geometry. Lowercase retains the same sharp tool-mark character, with tall, narrow verticals and pointed joins that produce a persistent “thorny” texture in text. Numerals echo the same cut-stroke language, reading best when given room and size.
