A sharp, display-oriented alphabet built from irregular, angular strokes with frequent wedge-like terminals and abrupt direction changes. Forms show noticeable stroke contrast, with thick, inked masses broken by thin knife-edge tapers, creating a cut-paper or carved look rather than smooth pen curves. Proportions and character widths vary from glyph to glyph, and many counters are tight or asymmetrical, emphasizing a restless rhythm. Edges often appear slightly uneven or fractured, reinforcing a hand-drawn, distressed construction while keeping overall shapes legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where the spiky texture can read clearly and set the scene quickly. It works well for horror or dark-fantasy packaging, event promos, haunted attraction signage, and game or film branding. For longer passages, using larger sizes with ample leading helps preserve readability while keeping the dramatic texture.
The letterforms project an ominous, horror-leaning mood with a mischievous, comic edge—more “creepy storybook” than realistic gore. The spiky silhouettes and twitchy angles create tension and urgency, making text feel like it’s been scratched, carved, or assembled from shards. Overall tone is theatrical and attention-grabbing, suited to suspense, Halloween, and dark-fantasy themes.
The design appears intended to deliver instant atmosphere through sharp silhouettes, high-contrast cuts, and intentionally irregular construction. Rather than polished neutrality, it prioritizes expressive, hand-crafted tension and a distinctive, spooky voice for display typography.
Caps carry much of the drama through aggressive diagonals and pointed joins, while lowercase keeps the same jagged logic with simplified, brisk shapes. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, maintaining consistency across the set. In paragraph samples, the texture is bold and uneven, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous leading and short line lengths.
