A condensed display face with heavy, brushlike strokes and sharp, thorny terminals. Forms are largely upright with a hand-drawn irregularity: edges wobble subtly, curves pinch into narrow joins, and many strokes end in hooked or clawed tips. Counters stay fairly open for a horror style, while the overall rhythm remains uneven and lively due to varied stem widths, flared ends, and occasional asymmetry across similar shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, headlines, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where texture and mood matter more than long-form readability. It works particularly well for horror, dark fantasy, haunted-event materials, and stylized game or entertainment branding.
The letterforms read as eerie and theatrical rather than purely grim, combining medieval/blackletter echoes with scratchy, inked aggression. Pointed terminals and ragged contours create a sense of tension and menace, with a playful “Halloween poster” energy that keeps it from feeling overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror atmosphere through sharp terminals, tapered strokes, and a rough, hand-inked texture, while retaining enough structure and open counters to stay legible at display sizes.
The condensed proportions and tall ascenders amplify a vertical, looming silhouette in text. Numerals and capitals carry the same spiked finishing and irregular stroke behavior as the lowercase, helping headings feel cohesive and intentionally distressed.
