A dramatic display face built from sharp, flaring wedges and long, tapering terminals. Strokes swing between heavy, blade-like masses and hairline-thin flicks, creating a jittery rhythm with strong internal contrast. The letterforms lean forward and feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn, with irregular widths and uneven counters that add tension and motion. Capitals are especially sculptural and top-heavy, while the lowercase keeps a narrow, pointed silhouette with angular joins and occasional hooked descenders.
Best used for short, prominent text such as horror-film titles, Halloween promotions, dark-fantasy game branding, event posters, album artwork, and chapter or section headers where a supernatural edge is desired. It works particularly well when given room to breathe, allowing the sharp terminals and high-contrast strokes to remain legible.
The overall tone is ominous and ritualistic, evoking spellbook lettering, cursed signage, and gothic theatrics. Its jagged silhouettes and knife-edge details read as uneasy and aggressive, suited to horror and dark fantasy atmospheres rather than neutral communication.
The font appears designed to deliver an immediate spooky, cursed impression through exaggerated contrast, forward-leaning calligraphic motion, and thorn-like terminals. Its irregular proportions and expressive cuts prioritize mood and character over continuous reading comfort.
The design relies on distinctive silhouette cues—spurs, barbed terminals, and dramatic entry/exit strokes—so small sizes may lose the finest hairlines while large sizes amplify the expressive cuts. Numerals follow the same carved, tapered logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for titles that mix text and numbers.
