A condensed, tall display face with heavy stems and sharply tapered terminals that often end in fang-like points. Letterforms have irregular, hand-cut contours with subtle waviness along verticals and occasional drip-like protrusions, creating a rough, inked silhouette. Counters are generally narrow and simplified, with a slightly uneven rhythm and small variations in stroke width that add to the distressed look. Numerals follow the same narrow, jagged construction with hooked ends and uneven edges for consistent texture across the set.
Ideal for display typography in horror- and Halloween-themed posters, titles, packaging, and event signage where a strong silhouette and dramatic texture are desired. It also suits game and streaming thumbnails, book covers, and short headlines that benefit from a punchy, eerie voice. For longer passages, reserve it for brief callouts or themed pull quotes.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror lettering with a touch of comic-book exaggeration. Its sharp points and drips suggest danger and suspense, while the bouncy, handmade irregularity keeps it lively rather than strictly grim. The result feels well-suited to spooky fun—more haunted house marquee than austere gothic.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror cue through pointed terminals, dripping accents, and a deliberately rough, handmade finish. Its condensed, vertical proportions maximize impact in tight headline spaces while maintaining a consistent spooky texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the condensed spacing and dense black shapes build a strong, noisy texture, so it reads best when given room (looser tracking and generous line spacing). Distinctive jagged terminals are a key identifying feature, and they become more legible and impactful at larger sizes where the contour detail can be appreciated.
