A jagged, hand-drawn display face with sharp, wedge-like terminals and brushy stroke modulation that creates a chiseled silhouette. Strokes feel pressure-driven, with tapered joins, occasional ink-trap-like notches, and a slightly irregular baseline rhythm. Letters are compact and upright-leaning with narrow internal counters and pointy apertures, giving the alphabet a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals follow the same cut-and-slice logic, with simplified forms and aggressive terminals that match the uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, game or film titles, album art, and branding that wants a gothic or Halloween-leaning voice. It can also work for packaging and labels where a carved, dramatic feel is desirable, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking fantasy signage, vintage horror titles, and occult or medieval-themed ephemera. Its energetic, scratchy movement reads as expressive and a bit menacing rather than polished or neutral.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush lettering while borrowing from blackletter-inspired sharpness, producing a compact, high-impact display style. It prioritizes atmosphere and silhouette over calm readability, aiming to deliver a distinctive, thematic texture in titles and branding.
The texture is intentionally uneven, with noticeable variation in stroke edges and spur shapes from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered look. In longer text the narrow spacing and sharp forms create a strong pattern, so it tends to read best when given ample size and breathing room.
