A condensed, blackletter-leaning display face with heavy vertical strokes and abrupt, blade-like terminals. The outlines are intentionally distressed with thorny protrusions and small nicks along stems and joins, creating a rough, serrated edge. Counters are tight and angular, with pronounced inner corners and intermittent wedge notches that heighten the textured silhouette. Overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with strong dark mass and abrupt transitions that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror posters, film or game title cards, Halloween promotions, album art, and spooky-themed branding. It works well for headlines, logos, and signage where the jagged silhouette can be appreciated, and is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text where the distressed detail may reduce clarity.
The letterforms project a threatening, supernatural tone—more ritual and gothic than playful. The spiky texture and dagger-like terminals evoke horror titles, haunted ephemera, and occult signage, lending a sense of menace and urgency to short phrases. Its dense color and jagged details make it feel dramatic and foreboding.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter structure with an aggressive, distressed surface, producing a dramatic display texture that signals horror and the occult at a glance. Its compact proportions and strong vertical emphasis prioritize a striking silhouette and dense color for attention-grabbing titles.
In text lines, the distressed spikes create a lively, uneven edge that can visually merge at smaller sizes, especially in dense words. The capitals have a sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same thorny vocabulary, preserving a consistent texture across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the chiseled, notched construction and hold similar weight and presence.
