A condensed, display-oriented Latin with sharp, calligraphic construction and dramatic stroke contrast. Letterforms are tall and tightly set, with pointed terminals and uneven, ragged edges that often extend into drip-like descenders. Strokes taper into needle points, counters are narrow, and many joins feel carved or scratched rather than smoothly drawn. The overall rhythm is irregular and intentionally distressed, creating a jagged texture line-to-line while still keeping recognizable skeletons for A–Z and a–z.
Best suited for short headlines and branding in horror, thriller, and dark-fantasy contexts—film and event posters, game titles, streaming thumbnails, album artwork, and haunted-attraction collateral. It can also work for packaging or labels that need a spooky accent, especially when used sparingly against clean supporting text.
The font projects a horror and supernatural tone—like ink pulled into thorns and drips. Its tense, scratchy silhouette reads as ominous and theatrical, evoking haunted signage, cursed manuscripts, and creature-feature title cards.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-rendered, distressed lettering with drips and thorn-like terminals, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. Its condensed build and aggressive detailing are tuned to deliver instant genre signaling in display settings.
Numbers and punctuation follow the same tapered, distressed logic, with frequent downward spikes that create a strong vertical emphasis. The narrow proportions and high-contrast strokes make it most effective at larger sizes where the delicate hairlines and ragged detailing remain legible.
