A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with thick vertical stems and sharply tapered terminals. The outlines are heavily distressed, with ragged, torn-looking edges, splintered notches, and irregular bite marks that break up the silhouette. Counters are tight and angular, and many strokes end in needle-like spikes that create a bristling texture across words. Spacing appears compact, and the uneven edge treatment adds constant flicker and grit without fully obscuring letterforms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror film posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, game title screens, and dark-themed editorial headers. It also works well for album/merch graphics where a gritty gothic presence is desired. For longer passages, it’s more effective as a section header or pull quote than as continuous text.
The overall tone is ominous and aggressive, evoking horror, occult, and haunted-house aesthetics. Its rough, corroded texture reads like cracked ink or shredded paper, giving headlines a sense of danger and unrest. The blackletter undertone adds a gothic, ritualistic flavor that amplifies the eerie mood.
Designed to deliver a gothic display voice with a deliberately corrupted surface: a structured, blackletter-like base pushed into a torn, spiked, distressed look for instant horror and drama. The goal appears to be maximum atmosphere and impact at headline sizes while keeping letterforms recognizable enough for branding and titling.
Uppercase forms feel tall and imposing, while the lowercase maintains the same distressed rhythm for consistent voice across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same torn, spiked treatment, keeping the texture uniform in titles that include dates or episode numbers. The irregular edge damage creates strong visual noise, so the design benefits from generous size and careful contrast against backgrounds.
