This typeface uses condensed, upright letterforms with sharp, irregular contours and frequent thorn-like protrusions. Strokes show medium contrast with pointed terminals and abrupt tapers that create a scratchy, distressed silhouette while keeping counters mostly open for recognition. The uppercase forms lean toward angular, blackletter-adjacent structure, while the lowercase remains compact and slightly simplified, maintaining the same jagged edge behavior. Overall spacing is tight and the texture is dark and rhythmic, with intentionally uneven outlines that read like torn ink or chiseled edges.
Best suited for short display settings such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween promos, event posters, game title screens, and chapter headings where a strong mood is needed. It works particularly well at larger sizes where the spiky detailing and rough edges can be appreciated, and can add atmosphere to logos or wordmarks for dark-themed projects.
The font projects an eerie, theatrical tone—suggesting cursed manuscripts, haunted signage, and gothic storybook titles. Its spiked terminals and ragged contours evoke tension and danger without becoming fully illegible, making it feel more suspenseful than playful.
The design intent appears to be a readable display face that borrows from gothic/blackletter cues while adding aggressive, spined terminals and a distressed outline to heighten suspense. It aims to deliver a consistent haunted aesthetic across letters and numerals for themed headlines and branding.
Numerals and key capitals (notably A, M, N, W, and X) emphasize pointed vertices and claw-like terminals, reinforcing the horror theme. The irregularity appears consistent across the set, giving a deliberate distressed finish rather than random noise.
