A decorative serif with sharp, irregular wedges and notched terminals that create a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes are fairly even in weight with moderate contrast, but edges are intentionally uneven, producing a rough, animated contour. Serifs are exaggerated and angular, with pointed tips and small inward bites that give counters a slightly “carved” feel, especially in rounded forms like O and Q. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to a lively rhythm and a deliberately inconsistent texture in longer lines.
Best suited for display use where personality is the priority: posters, title cards, packaging, event promos, and themed graphics (especially spooky or fantasy-leaning). It can also work for short UI headings in games or streaming overlays when set generously with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone reads as eerie and theatrical—suggestive of old-world spellbooks, Halloween graphics, and campy horror titles. Its prickly details and uneven outlines add a mischievous, handmade energy rather than a solemn blackletter mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful headline style by blending serifed letterforms with irregular, thorny detailing. Its variable shaping and carved-looking cuts prioritize mood and novelty over neutrality, aiming to make short phrases feel dramatic and uncanny.
In text settings, the dense ornamentation and frequent spikes can reduce clarity at small sizes, while larger sizes better showcase the distinctive terminals and notches. The numerals follow the same jagged vocabulary, with angular joints and flared ends that keep them visually consistent with the capitals and lowercase.
