A sharp, angular display face built from narrow, tapered strokes that swell into wedge-like terminals and spike into knife points. Counters are small and tight, and the overall rhythm is choppy and irregular, with subtle variation in glyph widths and a hand-cut, distressed edge quality rather than smooth curves. Straight stems dominate, while rounded letters (like O and C) are faceted into pointed ovals, reinforcing a carved, thorny silhouette.
Best suited to short headlines, title cards, posters, and packaging where atmosphere is the priority—especially for horror, Halloween, dark fantasy, or spooky event branding. It also works well for game menus, chapter openers, and pull quotes, but is less appropriate for long passages or small sizes where the tight counters and spiky details can blur.
The letterforms project a tense, ominous mood—more occult and storybook-dark than gory—suggesting curses, cryptic warnings, and supernatural lore. Its prickly terminals and uneasy texture create an intentionally unsettling voice that reads like signage from a haunted setting.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror-leaning tone through aggressive tapering, faceted curves, and thorn-like terminals, while keeping character recognition intact for punchy display copy. It prioritizes silhouette and texture to create a carved, supernatural presence on the page.
Uppercase forms tend to be more emblematic and dramatic, while the lowercase keeps the same tapered logic with compact, slightly quirky shapes that add to the handmade feel. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-metal aesthetic, staying readable while maintaining the spined, pointed theme.
