This font uses angular, thorn-like terminals and ragged contouring that makes each stroke look bitten or eroded. Stems are relatively sturdy but interrupted by frequent spikes and notches, producing a lively, high-frequency edge texture rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be tight and irregular, and rounded forms (like O and C) become bristly rings with pointed protrusions. Overall spacing reads as moderately open in display sizes, while the uneven outlines create a restless rhythm across words.
Best suited to short headlines, titles, and logo-style wordmarks where the spiky silhouette can read clearly and provide atmosphere. It works especially well for horror-themed posters, game UI/title treatments, album artwork, and seasonal promotional graphics. For longer passages, the dense edge detail can reduce legibility, so larger sizes and generous tracking help.
The letterforms convey an aggressive, supernatural tone—more curse-book and dungeon signage than classic gothic. Its sharp protrusions and distressed silhouette suggest danger and unease, with a theatrical, horror-forward personality that feels at home in dark fantasy and Halloween contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately eerie impact by replacing conventional smooth terminals with thorned, distressed spikes while keeping familiar letter skeletons. The consistent barbed treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a unified display face meant to theme a composition quickly and unmistakably.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same spined construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed-case settings. Numerals adopt the same barbed styling, and punctuation-like forms in the sample maintain the harsh, cut-in contours, reinforcing a cohesive display system.
