A decorative serif with chunky silhouettes and sharply tapered, blade-like terminals. Strokes feel hand-cut and slightly irregular, with wedge serifs that kick outward and occasional hooked joins that create a restless rhythm. Counters are compact and somewhat uneven, and the lowercase sits low with a noticeably short x-height, making ascenders and capitals feel prominent. Widths vary from glyph to glyph, adding a lively, unpredictable texture across words.
Best suited to display work such as titles, posters, themed packaging, event branding, and game or film graphics where a spooky character is desired. It performs well for short bursts of text—headlines, chapter openers, and pull quotes—especially at larger sizes where its tapered terminals and quirky proportions can be appreciated.
The letterforms read as theatrical and eerie rather than purely aggressive—evoking spooky signage, folklore titles, and Halloween ephemera. Its sharp points and curling terminals add a mischievous, haunted tone that can feel both ominous and playful depending on setting and copy.
Designed to deliver an instantly themed, eerie presence through sharp wedges, hooked terminals, and a deliberately irregular rhythm. The intent appears to be high-impact display typography that feels hand-fashioned and slightly uncanny rather than smooth or formal.
The strongest visual features are the pronounced wedge serifs and the consistent use of pointed, flared endings that create a crackling edge along baselines and caps. In longer lines, the irregular widths and spiky details become a primary texture, so generous spacing and larger sizes help keep forms from visually colliding.
