This typeface uses sharply tapered, thorn-like serifs and irregular, knife-edged terminals that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with pointed joins and occasional notches, creating a fractured texture along the outlines. The proportions are relatively narrow and upright, with a slightly uneven rhythm from glyph to glyph that reinforces the distressed, organic construction. Counters stay fairly open, but the aggressive serifs and angled terminals create a busy edge that becomes more prominent as sizes decrease.
Best suited to short display settings such as horror or fantasy titles, event posters, game logos, and packaging that benefits from an ominous, spiked silhouette. It can work for pull quotes or brief blurbs when set large, but it’s most effective as a headline accent rather than continuous reading text.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking folklore, curses, and late-night horror title cards. Its spines and hooked endings create an anxious, creeping energy that reads as sinister rather than playful. The calligraphic modulation adds a ritualistic, old-world flavor that supports eerie or supernatural themes.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately spooky, supernatural impression through thorned serifs, sharp tapering, and a slightly unruly hand-rendered texture. Its letterforms prioritize atmosphere and silhouette impact, aiming to look like ink pulled into points or shapes carved into rough material.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality with prominent spikes and dramatic entry/exit strokes, while lowercase remains readable but still bristled with sharp terminals. Numerals match the same jagged finishing, keeping a cohesive voice across display settings. In longer text, the distinctive edge texture can dominate, so careful tracking and generous line spacing help maintain clarity.
