A condensed display face built from tall, slim letterforms with hard-edged geometry and frequent wedge-like tapers. Stems are generally thick but pinch into sharp terminals and notches, creating a carved, blade-like rhythm rather than smooth, rounded joins. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many characters show pointed interior cut-ins that emphasize height and tension. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow proportion and strong vertical emphasis, while numerals follow the same tapered, knife-point construction for a cohesive texture in text.
This font is best suited to display settings such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween branding, poster headlines, and dramatic packaging where a dark, sharp voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines or pull quotes—when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, with a sinister, spooky edge created by the spiked terminals and dagger-like silhouettes. Its compressed proportions and sharp details give it a vintage horror and dark-fantasy feel that reads as intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a carved, blade-like aesthetic while staying within a compact, condensed footprint. The intention seems to be strong atmospheric impact and instant genre signaling through sharp terminals, narrow proportions, and a tense vertical rhythm.
The design maintains a steady vertical cadence in running text, but the pointed terminals and tight counters make it most effective at larger sizes where the distinctive cut-ins and tapers remain clear. Character shapes lean toward angular, decorative constructions that prioritize personality over conventional simplicity.
