A narrow, calligraphic display face with brush-like stroke modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Letterforms are upright but lively, with irregular contours, occasional ink-splatter edges, and spur-like notches that create a carved, thorny silhouette. Curves are slightly pinched and counters stay fairly tight, while strokes often end in needle points or small hooks that add bite and motion. The rhythm is intentionally uneven, prioritizing expressive texture over smooth, geometric consistency.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title treatments, chapter headers, and branding for dark fantasy or horror-themed projects. It also works well for album art, event promos, and game/UI headings where a spiky, inked personality is desired more than neutral readability.
The overall tone feels dark and theatrical, suggesting occult or horror cues through its spiky terminals and scratchy ink energy. It reads as handmade and ritualistic rather than polished, with a mischievous, macabre flair that can also lean fantasy or Halloween depending on context.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, pressure-sensitive brush calligraphy with deliberate roughness and pointed flourishes. Its narrow proportions and aggressive terminals aim to deliver high-impact titles with a haunted, hand-drawn character.
In running text the sharp terminals and textured edges build a strong black-and-white pattern, which can become visually busy at small sizes. The most confident results come from short words and generous spacing where the jagged details can remain legible.
