A jagged, distressed display face with broken contours and sharp, thorn-like protrusions along stems and terminals. Strokes are heavy and uneven, with irregular edges that feel torn or carved rather than smoothly drawn, creating a rough, textured silhouette even in solid black. Letterforms lean on Gothic/blackletter cues—pointed joins, narrow interior apertures, and abrupt angular transitions—while keeping a mostly upright stance and a compact, vertical rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, and the overall spacing reads tight, producing a dense, gritty line of text that favors headline sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display contexts such as horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, and game or film title cards. It also works well on album covers, festival flyers, and short logotypes where the distressed, spiked texture can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font projects a menacing, supernatural tone—like weathered inscriptions, cursed signage, or a haunted poster headline. Its spurs and ragged edges add agitation and unpredictability, giving it an aggressive, cinematic horror flavor that can also read as deliberately campy when used brightly or at large scale.
The design appears intended to evoke frightening, archaic lettering through a fusion of blackletter-inspired structure and aggressively distressed edges. Its priority is atmosphere and impact over neutral readability, delivering a cohesive “carved/decayed” look across the character set.
The irregular outline treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive in longer samples. The texture tends to fill in at smaller sizes due to tight counters and heavy mass, while larger sizes reveal the chipped, serrated detailing more clearly.
