A tall, condensed display face with wiry strokes that swell and pinch into sharp, thorn-like terminals. Letterforms show irregular, hand-drawn modulation with narrow counters and occasional bulbous joins, creating a high-ink, high-drama silhouette despite the overall slender build. Curves and bowls feel slightly lopsided on purpose, and many glyphs end in pointed hooks or teardrop-like tips, giving the set a lively, jittery rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same uneven, tapered construction for a consistent, intentionally rough texture in text.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as horror or Halloween titles, theatrical posters, haunted-attraction branding, game splash screens, and spooky packaging or labels. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter headers where a rough, haunted texture is desirable, but it will be most effective when given enough size and spacing to keep the spiky details clear.
The font projects an eerie, storybook-horror tone—more mischievous than brutal—like spooky signage, Halloween ephemera, or a supernatural comic title. Its spines, hooks, and drippy tapers suggest creepiness and suspense while keeping a playful, handmade energy.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, spooky atmosphere through exaggerated narrow proportions, sharp tapered terminals, and uneven stroke modulation. Its goal is to deliver instant thematic character—suggesting drips, claws, and flickering candlelight—rather than quiet readability.
In continuous text the narrow proportions and sharp terminals create a busy, vibrating texture that reads best at larger sizes. The most distinctive personality comes from the inconsistent stroke endings and the repeated use of pointed, flame-like tips that make even simple words feel animated.
