A condensed display face with sharply broken contours and irregular, blade-like terminals. Strokes are heavy and mostly vertical in emphasis, with uneven edges that suggest distressed carving or dry-brush ink. Counters tend to be tight and dark, while diagonals and joins form jagged notches that give each letter a slightly mutated silhouette. Overall spacing is compact and the rhythm is intentionally uneven, producing a restless texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as film or event titles, poster headlines, game logos, and themed packaging where a sinister atmosphere is desired. It performs especially well when given generous size and contrast against clean backgrounds, or layered with textured artwork for a deliberately aged look.
The letterforms project an ominous, ritualistic tone—more haunted manuscript than polite typography. Its pointed cuts and wavering outlines read as tense and supernatural, evoking classic horror title cards, occult ephemera, and gothic theatrics.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive terminals, distressed outlines, and a condensed stance that heightens intensity. It prioritizes mood and silhouette over neutrality, functioning as a characterful display tool for dark, spooky narratives.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with dramatic terminals and occasional exaggerated spikes that create high visual noise. At smaller sizes the distressed edges can close in, while at larger sizes the roughness becomes a defining graphic feature.
