A jagged, display-style Latin with irregular, ink-like contours and sharp thorny terminals. Strokes swing between swollen blobs and needle-thin tapers, creating a rough, high-drama rhythm with frequent points, notches, and small drips. The texture is intentionally uneven and organic, with variable silhouette widths and slightly inconsistent outlines that read as distressed rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are narrow and towering, while lowercase keeps a large x-height and compact counters; numerals follow the same cut, stabby construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, titles, logos, packaging accents, and event promotion where a dark, spooky atmosphere is desired. It performs well in high-contrast applications and works especially effectively when given ample size and breathing room rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror lettering, occult paraphernalia, and hand-rendered titles. Its spines, hooks, and drips suggest danger and suspense, delivering a loud, confrontational voice more than a neutral reading texture.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn horror lettering by combining brushy swelling with knife-like endings and occasional drip details. Its irregularity and dramatic terminals aim to communicate menace and supernatural tension instantly, prioritizing mood and texture over quiet readability.
The font’s strongest impact comes from its silhouette: sharp interior bites, uneven edges, and frequent tapered descenders that create a clawed, hanging effect. Spacing appears designed for headline use, with tight internal shapes and heavy black areas that can merge at very small sizes.
