A sharp, blackletter-influenced display face with narrow proportions and aggressive, knife-like terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic logic with tapered endings and angular joins, producing a jagged silhouette and rhythmic vertical emphasis. Counters are compact and often wedge-shaped, and several forms incorporate pointed interior notches that heighten the thorny texture. Overall spacing reads tight and text forms into a dense, dark band, with small bursts of ornament at stroke starts and finishes.
Best suited to display work where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability: horror and Halloween advertising, dark fantasy or dungeon-themed game interfaces, metal or alternative music branding, event posters, and packaging for gothic or occult products. It performs especially well in short headlines, logos, and punchy callouts at moderate-to-large sizes.
The font projects a dark, ominous tone—evoking medieval manuscripts, occult ephemera, and horror titling. Its spiky contours and compressed stance feel tense and theatrical, lending an uneasy, ceremonial mood to short statements and names.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter structure with sharper, more menacing tapers to create a compact, high-impact word image. Its consistent thorny terminals and condensed rhythm prioritize mood and immediacy, aiming for instantly recognizable, dramatic titling.
Capital letters carry the strongest personality through exaggerated spikes and hooked terminals, while lowercase maintains the same blade-like modulation for consistency. Numerals match the angular language, keeping the set cohesive for headlines that mix letters and numbers.
