A sharply angular display face with chiseled, tapering strokes and frequent spike-like terminals. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with narrow counters and a tight overall footprint. Stroke endings often flare into small barbs, giving edges a serrated silhouette, while curves are minimized in favor of faceted joins and straight segments. Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent gothic-leaning construction, with simplified bowls and notched details that keep the texture lively in text lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, game logos and menus, event posters, album/track art, and seasonal promotions. It can work for pull quotes or brief subheads, but extended paragraphs will feel visually busy due to the frequent spikes and tight apertures.
The font projects an ominous, ritualistic tone—more carved and weapon-like than distressed or drippy. Its spurs and pointed terminals evoke horror, dark fantasy, and haunted-house theatrics, creating a tense, high-drama mood even at short word lengths.
The design appears intended to mimic carved or forged letterforms—crisp, narrow, and aggressively pointed—so that even simple words read as eerie and dramatic. Its consistent system of barbed terminals and faceted geometry suggests a focus on atmospheric titling rather than neutral text utility.
In the sample text, the dense rhythm and spiky interior shapes create strong texture but reduce readability as size decreases. Numerals follow the same faceted, pointed logic, helping headlines and titling systems feel cohesive across letters and digits.
