A jagged, display-focused serif with irregular contours and sharp, thorn-like terminals. Strokes are heavy with subtly wavy edges and uneven swelling, creating a distressed ink silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Serifs are wedgey and pointed, counters are compact, and many joins feel hand-shaped, giving the letters a slightly inconsistent, carved look. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive while lowercase stays compact with sturdy stems and occasional quirky details, producing a lively, uneven rhythm in text.
Works well for horror-themed headlines, Halloween promotions, game titles and UI labels, podcast/album artwork, book covers, and venue or event posters where atmosphere matters more than neutral readability. It’s especially suited to large-size typography, logos, and short taglines that can showcase the sharp terminals and roughened texture.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, leaning into storybook horror and old-world occult aesthetics. Its spurs, spikes, and rough edges suggest candlelit manuscripts, haunted signage, and vintage fright-poster lettering.
Likely designed to evoke a hand-inked or hand-cut gothic look with an intentionally distressed finish, prioritizing mood and character. The spiky terminals and uneven stroke edges appear meant to create a haunted, antiqued presence that feels dramatic and slightly chaotic.
In longer lines the texture becomes dense and expressive, with the distressed outlines adding visual noise that reads best at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, making the font particularly effective for short bursts of text and title treatments.
