A jagged display serif with sharp, thorn-like terminals and uneven, hand-cut contours. Strokes show irregular edges and intermittent nicks that create a distressed silhouette, while contrast remains moderate and consistent across the set. Serifs are angular and spiky rather than bracketed, and bowls and counters tend toward slightly pinched, asymmetrical shapes that enhance the rough rhythm. The lowercase keeps a readable, traditional skeleton but with the same ragged perimeter and pointed endings, and the numerals follow suit with chipped curves and tapering strokes.
Best suited for short, prominent text where the distressed spikes and ragged edges can be appreciated—such as horror film or podcast titles, Halloween event promotion, game logos, album art, and chapter or section headers. It can also work for themed packaging or signage when set at display sizes with generous spacing to preserve the carved, scratchy detail.
The font projects a dark, ominous tone—more cursed manuscript than polished print. Its spurs, notches, and scratchy outlines suggest menace and unease, evoking horror titles, haunted ephemera, and arcane signage. The overall effect is dramatic and theatrical, with an intentionally unrefined, unsettling texture.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror flavor through aggressive terminals and a deliberately weathered outline, combining a familiar serif structure with distressed, hand-made irregularity for instant thematic impact.
Spacing and texture feel intentionally uneven, producing a lively, flickering word shape in text lines. The rough outer edges add substantial visual noise, which reads as atmosphere at larger sizes and becomes busy when set too small or tightly tracked.
