This typeface takes a blackletter-inspired approach with sharp, flared terminals and frequent thorn-like spur details that create a jagged silhouette. Strokes show pronounced contrast, moving between broad, weighty stems and knife-thin hairline connections, with wedge-shaped finishing cuts that feel chiseled. Counters are relatively tight and often asymmetrical, and many letters feature hooked joins and pointed inner corners that add visual tension. The overall construction is upright and legible at display sizes, with consistent angular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its sharp terminals and high-contrast strokes can read clearly and set mood. It works well for horror or occult-themed titles, event promotions, game or film graphics, and dramatic packaging or branding accents; for longer paragraphs, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The letterforms project an ominous, ritualistic tone—more haunted manuscript than refined book type. The spiky terminals and brittle curves give it a tense, aggressive energy suited to horror, dark fantasy, and supernatural themes.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly eerie, gothic atmosphere by combining blackletter DNA with exaggerated spikes, flared terminals, and chiseled cuts. Its consistent motifing across cases and figures suggests a focus on cohesive display typography for thematic, mood-driven work.
The sample text shows a lively, slightly irregular texture line-to-line, driven by varying spur lengths and sharp internal notches. Numerals echo the same chiseled, pointed treatment, maintaining stylistic continuity for titles that mix letters and numbers.
