A decorative display face built from sharp, chiseled strokes and irregular, knife-like terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright but visibly uneven in contour, with pointy spurs, notched joins, and intermittent wedge-shaped serifs that feel carved rather than penned. Curves (like C, O, and G) are faceted into angular arcs, while verticals often taper to needle points, creating a restless rhythm across words. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, and the overall spacing reads slightly erratic, emphasizing a distressed, hand-wrought texture.
Best suited for short headlines and titling where texture and mood matter more than neutral readability—such as horror posters, haunted event promos, spooky packaging, game title screens, and album or book covers. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a threatening, arcane tone, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The font projects a dark, ritualistic atmosphere—more spellbook and haunted placard than classical print. Its jagged silhouettes and sharp terminals suggest danger and mystery, giving text an immediate horror-leaning tension that feels theatrical and supernatural.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-carved or forged lettering with exaggerated spikes and uneven edges, prioritizing atmosphere and dramatic silhouette over typographic restraint. Its consistent use of tapered points and faceted curves suggests a deliberate system for producing an ominous, ritual-themed display voice.
Uppercase forms tend to be more elaborate and spurred, while lowercase keeps the same sharp vocabulary with simpler silhouettes, helping mixed-case text remain legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same carved, pointed construction, matching the alphabet’s aggressive edge language.
