A decorative serif with chunky, ink-heavy strokes and sharp, blade-like spurs that jut from terminals and corners. The outlines feel hand-inked, with slightly wavy edges and subtly uneven curves that keep the texture lively in text. Serifs are exaggerated into hooked wedges and tapered points, while bowls and counters stay relatively compact, creating a dense, dark rhythm. Letter widths vary noticeably, and the lowercase sits low with a relatively small x-height, reinforcing the old-world, display-first proportions.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the spurs and inky shapes can be appreciated—horror or fantasy titles, Halloween promotions, poster headlines, book or chapter titling, and game branding or UI labels. It can work for brief blurbs or pull quotes, but the dense texture suggests avoiding long paragraphs at small sizes.
The overall tone reads eerie and theatrical—more haunted fairytale and vintage horror poster than modern minimalism. Its pointed terminals and restless contours add a sense of menace and mischief, giving headlines a cursed, storybook-gothic flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-rendered, vintage gothic display with deliberately sharpened serifs and an unsettled outline, prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its consistent spurred terminals across caps, lowercase, and figures aim to create an instantly recognizable, spooky voice for themed display typography.
In the sample text, the jagged serif points and narrow interior spaces become a defining texture, especially across repeated verticals in words like “Quartz,” “Nymph,” and “Worms.” The numerals echo the same hooked, spurred construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
