This typeface uses sharply tapered, high-contrast strokes with irregular, ragged contours that feel like ink tearing or eroding at the edges. Serifs and terminals often end in spikes, hooks, and thin needle-like points, with occasional drip-like descenders that extend below the baseline. The overall construction reads as a distressed serif with a lively, uneven silhouette and a slightly fluctuating rhythm across characters, keeping forms legible while emphasizing texture and menace.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed edges and tapering spikes can read clearly—such as horror title cards, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, or dark fantasy game and film graphics. It can also work for short headers, logos, and packaging accents where an ominous, textured serif is desired; long passages will feel visually intense.
The letterforms evoke horror and occult poster typography—tense, foreboding, and theatrical. Its drips and thorny terminals suggest decay, darkness, and supernatural atmosphere, creating an intentionally unsettling tone suited to suspenseful or ominous messaging.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with horror-specific distress—drips, spikes, and scratchy erosion—to create a legible but unsettling display voice. The goal is impact and atmosphere rather than quiet neutrality, with texture and silhouette doing most of the storytelling.
Uppercase shapes feel bold and emblematic with pronounced spurs and notches, while lowercase maintains the same thorny logic with narrower counters and sharper joins. Numerals carry the same distressed finish and pointed terminals, helping display settings feel cohesive across letters and figures.
