A sharp, display-focused serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and irregular, knife-cut contours. Strokes taper dramatically into points and hooks, creating a jagged rhythm with alternating thick-and-thin segments and small, chiseled counters. The verticals feel tense and slightly brittle, while curves pinch and flare into fang-like serifs; joins often narrow into notches that read like carved or scratched ink. Overall spacing is tight and the letterforms keep a tall, compressed silhouette, with a distinctly hand-worked, uneven edge quality despite consistent construction.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its spiky terminals and rough texture can read clearly—such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game and tabletop branding, album artwork, and attention-grabbing poster typography. It also works well for packaging or labels that want a dark, folkloric, “forbidden” atmosphere, especially when used with generous tracking and high contrast backgrounds.
The font projects a sinister, occult-leaning mood—more carved spellbook than classic blackletter. Its spikes and tapering hooks add a sense of menace and theatrical suspense, while the rough, inked edges suggest age, decay, and dark folklore. The tone is high-contrast emotionally: bold and attention-grabbing, with an eerie, unsettled energy.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved, arcane display style through sharp wedges, tapered strokes, and irregular edges that simulate cutting or scratching into ink or stone. It prioritizes mood and silhouette over neutrality, aiming to deliver instant genre signaling and a strong, ominous texture in large sizes.
The most distinctive signature is the repeated use of pointed wedges and hooked serifs, which creates a consistent “fang” motif across both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, keeping the set cohesive for short, punchy uses. In longer lines the texture becomes busy, so the design reads best when given breathing room and sufficient size.
