A narrow display face with sharp, irregular contours and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes show medium contrast with pointed, flared terminals and occasional spur-like protrusions that make the outlines feel torn or thorny. Counters are small and often pinched, while bowls and curves wobble slightly, reinforcing a carved, organic rhythm. Uppercase forms read as simplified gothic capitals, and the lowercase keeps a similarly angular, uneven texture; numerals follow the same chiseled, slightly distorted construction.
Best suited for short display settings where texture and atmosphere are the priority—titles, headers, poster typography, packaging accents, and themed branding. It can also work for in-world labels in games or film graphics, but extended paragraphs will feel dense due to the jagged detailing and narrow proportions.
The overall tone is eerie and storybook-like, evoking horror posters, witchcraft ephemera, and medieval fantasy signage. Its rough, bristling edges add tension and drama, giving text a haunted, hand-made presence rather than a polished, modern finish.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-carved or distressed lettering with gothic cues, delivering a dramatic, uncanny texture that reads instantly as themed display type. Its consistent spurs and flared terminals suggest a focus on mood and character over neutral readability.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the spiky contour detail becomes visually busy at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive serrated edges and flared strokes. The most consistent character comes from the repeated pointed terminals and the irregular, chipped outline treatment across letters and figures.
