This typeface is built from narrow, vertical gothic letterforms with sharp, thorn-like terminals and frequent inward notches that create a carved, fractured silhouette. Strokes show clear contrast with pointed, knife-edge tapers, and many letters end in elongated spikes that extend above caps and below the baseline. Counters are tight and angular, and the rhythm is highly textured, producing an aggressive, serrated edge along word shapes. Figures follow the same pointed construction, with uneven widths and dramatic hooks that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for short, high-impact display typography such as horror posters, game and film titles, album covers, and seasonal or themed event promotions. It works well where atmosphere matters more than extended readability, and where generous tracking and larger sizes can let the sharp details breathe.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking dark fantasy, horror titling, and occult paraphernalia. Its jagged contours and exaggerated spikes suggest danger and unease, reading as deliberately hostile rather than neutral or friendly.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired structure with exaggerated, weapon-like terminals to create a supernatural, threatening voice. Its consistent use of spikes, narrow proportions, and tight counters prioritizes mood and visual drama for themed display settings.
The dense interior shapes and spurred terminals create strong visual impact at display sizes, but the aggressive detailing can crowd small settings and increase visual noise in long passages. Capitals are especially dominant, with pronounced verticality and spiked ascenders/descenders that shape lines with a dramatic, uneven edge.
