A jagged display face with fractured, irregular contours and frequent thorn-like protrusions along stems, serifs, and terminals. Strokes are heavy and uneven at the edges, with torn-looking notches and occasional drip-like descenders that give the silhouettes a ragged, corroded finish. The construction reads loosely blackletter-inspired in its vertical emphasis and angular joins, but the letterforms are simplified and highly stylized rather than calligraphically strict. Counters are relatively small and often angular, while curves are broken into faceted segments, producing a restless, distressed rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as poster headlines, title cards, packaging accents, and branding for seasonal or horror-themed events. It also fits game UI headings, streaming thumbnails, or merch graphics where immediate atmosphere matters more than long-form readability.
The font projects a horror-poster energy—eerie, aggressive, and theatrical—suggesting haunted houses, monster features, or dark fantasy. Its rough edges and spur-like details feel volatile and unsettling, with a playful, B-movie bite that leans more graphic than subtle. The overall tone is intentionally abrasive and ominous, built to signal danger, mystery, and the supernatural at a glance.
The design appears intended to evoke a gothic-horror mood by combining blackletter-like verticality with exaggerated damage, spikes, and dripping terminals. It prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming to deliver instant thematic signaling for spooky, dark, or supernatural contexts.
Texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings retain the same distressed voice. The narrow proportions and busy edges can reduce clarity in small sizes or dense paragraphs, but the strong silhouettes hold up well at headline scale where the spikes and drips become a defining feature.
