A sharp, display-oriented serif with aggressive, thorn-like terminals and irregular, torn contours. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with heavy vertical masses punctuated by thin, blade-like spurs and notches that create a distressed silhouette. The letterforms lean on medieval-inspired structure while breaking the edges into splinters, giving a slightly uneven rhythm and a hand-cut, inked feel. Curves and bowls are tightened and often interrupted by small bites and hooks, and the numerals follow the same jagged, embellished treatment for a consistent texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as film/game titling, posters, and promotional graphics where texture is an asset. It works well for logos and wordmarks needing a menacing, supernatural edge, and for seasonal or themed materials where legibility can be traded for atmosphere.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror titles, dark fantasy, and haunted-house signage. Its spiked detailing reads as threatening and edgy rather than subtle, delivering an immediate sense of tension and drama.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional blackletter/gothic scaffold with exaggerated, spiky distressing to create a readable-but-feral display voice. The consistent use of thorns, nicks, and tapered cuts across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate system for producing an eerie, branded texture.
At text sizes the internal counters and decorative spurs can visually clump, making it best treated as a headline face rather than a continuous-reading text font. The distinctive terminals provide strong brandable shapes, but they also increase visual noise in dense settings.
