This typeface uses a sharp, chiseled serif language with pronounced tapers and wedge-like terminals. Strokes show subtle swelling and narrowing, creating a lightly calligraphic rhythm without cursive joining. Serifs and endings often flare into small barbs or hooks, and many joins are slightly pinched, giving the contours a carved, uneven edge. The uppercase forms are tall and commanding with narrow counters, while the lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy silhouette; numerals follow the same angular, tapered construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the spiky serifs and tapered strokes can be appreciated—titles, chapter headers, posters, packaging, and branding for horror, fantasy, or mystery themes. It can also work for themed invitations or event graphics where a vintage, unsettling voice is desired.
The overall tone feels ominous and theatrical, blending medieval signage and storybook darkness. Its spurred terminals and knife-like serifs suggest haunted ephemera—spellbooks, warnings, and macabre title cards—more than everyday reading comfort.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or inked letterforms with sharpened serifs and unsettling hooks, prioritizing atmosphere and drama over neutrality. Its consistent angular finishing across letters and numbers suggests a deliberate display face built for spooky, narrative-driven settings.
At display sizes the pointed details and hooked terminals read clearly and add character, while smaller sizes may emphasize the busy edge activity. The sample text shows a lively, slightly unpredictable rhythm from letter to letter, which reinforces the handcrafted, supernatural atmosphere.
