A jagged, angular display face built from sharp wedges and chiseled strokes. The letterforms feel hand-cut, with pointed terminals, abrupt corners, and slightly irregular stroke joins that create a restless rhythm. Counters tend to be small and geometric (often diamond-like), while diagonals dominate many shapes, giving the alphabet a fractured, weapon-like silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a raw, handmade texture while maintaining consistent overall proportions.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the aggressive angles and irregular rhythm can be appreciated. It works well for horror and dark-fantasy posters, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game/title screens, album artwork, and chapter or section headings that need an eerie edge.
The font conveys an ominous, ritualistic energy—more carved sigil than polished type. Its spines, spikes, and scratchy movement suggest danger and suspense, reading as deliberately unsettling and theatrical rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-carved or blade-cut lettering—prioritizing atmosphere, tension, and a primal, rune-like presence over smooth readability in long text.
Uppercase forms appear more emblematic and totemic, while lowercase retains the same sharp vocabulary with simplified construction. Numerals follow the same cut-metal logic, with strong diagonals and pointed turns, keeping the set cohesive in headings and short bursts of text.
