A jagged display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and a sharp, tapered stroke vocabulary. Stems and diagonals look pinched and slightly wavering, with pointed terminals and occasional hook-like serifs that create a thorny silhouette. Curves are uneven and slightly flattened in places, producing an intentionally distressed rhythm; counters stay fairly open despite the rough edges. The overall build is compact and tall, with lively width variation from glyph to glyph and a consistent, inked-black presence across letters and numerals.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as horror and Halloween headlines, event posters, game titles and UI labels, book or podcast cover typography, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where atmosphere is more important than long-form readability.
The font projects an eerie, storybook-horror tone—more haunted and theatrical than brutal. Its spines and nicks suggest aged signage, midnight posters, and folklore ephemera, delivering suspense with a touch of mischievous charm.
The design appears intended to evoke spooky, hand-rendered lettering through controlled irregularity: spiked terminals, ragged edges, and uneven curves create a crafted, haunted aesthetic while maintaining recognizable letterforms for display use.
The texture reads as deliberate rather than accidental: many glyphs share similar spike shapes and taper behaviors, giving the set cohesion even as individual letters remain quirky. Numerals echo the same torn, pointed finish, keeping the mood consistent in mixed text.
