A condensed, blackletter-leaning display face with angular construction and sharp, knife-like terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with faceted joins and abrupt tapers that create barbed edges and occasional drip-like protrusions. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with a small x-height and tall, pointed ascenders/descenders that give lines a stacked, spiky texture. Counters tend toward tight, polygonal openings, and many curves are resolved into hard corners, reinforcing a carved, gothic feel.
Best suited for short headlines, title cards, and logos where atmosphere matters more than prolonged readability—such as horror and thriller posters, Halloween promotions, metal or dark ambient album artwork, and spooky game or event branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking horror titles, occult ephemera, and haunted-house signage. Its aggressive points and roughened ends add tension and a sense of decay, making even simple words feel ominous and dramatic.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional gothic/blackletter structure with distressed, spike-and-drip details to produce an instantly eerie display texture. Its condensed proportions and pronounced verticality help it read as a dramatic title face while amplifying a foreboding, supernatural mood.
In running text the dense verticals and irregular terminal treatments create a lively, jagged texture; spacing and shape differences across letters add character but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same sharp, broken-edge language, helping headlines keep a consistent, menacing voice.
