A jagged, ink-blotted display face with sharp, thorny terminals and irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior with frequent nicks and notches, creating a distressed silhouette that feels cut or clawed rather than smoothly drawn. Counters are uneven and occasionally pinched, while edges wobble with brushlike texture; overall spacing and glyph widths vary, reinforcing a restless, handmade rhythm. The letterforms retain a broadly serifed, old-style backbone, but the serifs and joins are fractured into spikes and hooks for a more aggressive profile.
Use it for high-impact headlines such as horror and thriller poster titles, Halloween event promotion, haunted-attraction signage, and dark-fantasy or occult-themed game branding. It also works well for album/track artwork, book covers, and short pull quotes where a gritty, hand-rendered edge is desired.
The font projects a dark, unsettling tone—part medieval menace, part splattered-ink horror. Its roughened strokes and sharp protrusions evoke danger and decay, giving text an ominous, ritualistic energy suited to suspenseful and macabre themes.
The design appears intended to merge a blackletter-inspired structure with an aggressively distressed, spiked finish, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. Its irregular contours and punctured details are crafted to feel handmade and unsettling, turning even simple phrases into a dramatic, ominous statement.
In the sample text, the texture reads clearly at larger sizes where the ragged edges become a feature; at smaller sizes the interior breaks and spurs may visually fuse, making it best treated as a headline and titling style. Numerals match the same distressed construction, maintaining consistent mood across alphanumerics.
