A decorative display face built from heavy, compact forms with pronounced pointed terminals and blade-like wedges. Strokes are thick and mostly continuous, but many joins pinch into sharp notches that create an uneven, hand-carved silhouette. Counters are small and irregular, and the rhythm is intentionally lumpy, with alternating bulges and tapered spikes that make letters feel animated rather than strictly geometric. Lowercase forms are simplified and dense, with short extenders and rounded bodies that end in sudden cuts or hooks.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, titles, event posters, packaging accents, and game or film branding where mood is more important than neutral readability. It works particularly well at medium-to-large sizes, where the pointed terminals and jagged contours can be appreciated without counters closing in.
The overall tone reads ominous and theatrical, like lettering for occult props, haunted attractions, or pulp horror covers. Its sharp protrusions and uneven texture suggest something scratched, charred, or conjured, giving text a tense, supernatural energy while still feeling playful in a camp-horror way.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable spooky atmosphere through exaggerated tapering, thorn-like terminals, and irregular, hand-made contours. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and thematic impact over smooth text flow, making it a strong choice for display-driven horror and dark-fantasy visuals.
The font’s personality comes through most strongly in capitals, where aggressive terminals and angled shoulders create a rugged skyline. In longer lines the heavy color builds quickly, and the irregular inner spaces can make small sizes feel busy, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic spikes and carved texture.
