A jagged, angular display face with irregular, chipped edges and sharp wedge terminals that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with minimal internal modulation, while corners frequently break into faceted notches and abrupt points. Proportions are compact and slightly forward-leaning, with uneven widths across glyphs and a lively, staccato rhythm in text. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and the overall silhouette reads as fractured and spiked rather than smooth or calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, title cards, posters, and short bursts of text where the jagged silhouettes can read clearly and set the mood. It works well for seasonal promotions, haunted-house or party materials, spooky game screens, and branding accents that want a deliberately rough, hand-made edge.
The font projects a spooky, mischievous tone—more haunted funhouse than refined Gothic. Its broken, thorny contours add tension and drama, giving words a nervous energy that suits eerie or macabre themes without requiring overt dripping effects.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through fractured outlines and aggressive terminals, prioritizing character and texture over neutrality. Its simplified, low-modulation strokes and compact proportions suggest a display font meant to stay punchy at larger sizes while maintaining a consistently eerie voice.
In longer lines, the irregular edge texture becomes the dominant feature, creating a gritty, distressed color and a slightly restless baseline feel. The capitals have a blackletter-adjacent flavor in their verticality and terminals, but remain simplified and highly stylized for display impact.
