This typeface is built from tall, condensed letterforms with heavy vertical strokes and sharply cut, wedge-like terminals. The geometry is highly angular and faceted, producing a chiseled silhouette with pointed corners, occasional inward notches, and narrow interior counters. Curves are reduced to tight, hard turns, giving rounded letters a sculpted, almost cut-paper feel. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, adding a slightly uneven rhythm that reads as intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, packaging, and title treatments where its sharp detailing can read clearly. It fits especially well in horror, fantasy, Halloween, and noir-leaning branding, as well as album covers, game titles, and event graphics that benefit from a dramatic, theatrical voice.
The overall tone feels dark, dramatic, and slightly mischievous—like a stylized take on gothic signage filtered through a retro, pulpy sensibility. Its sharp points and compressed stance project tension and urgency, making it well suited to attention-grabbing, story-driven visuals.
The design appears intended to create an instantly recognizable, high-impact texture through compressed proportions and aggressive, angular terminals. Rather than prioritizing neutral readability, it focuses on character and atmosphere, evoking carved lettering and stylized gothic influences for expressive display typography.
Capital letters carry a strong monoline spine with distinctive, spear-like ends, while the lowercase keeps the same vertical emphasis and angular construction, helping the set feel cohesive. Numerals match the condensed, cut-in aesthetic, maintaining the same sharp terminals and tight apertures for consistent texture in headings.
