A sharp, thorn-encrusted display face with irregular, ragged contours and frequent outward spikes that read like torn paper or ink eruptions. Strokes are generally sturdy but heavily distressed at the edges, producing a broken silhouette with pinched joins, hooked terminals, and uneven interior counters. The letterforms keep a mostly serifed, blackletter-leaning structure in places, yet the consistent spikiness and rough texture unify the set. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an unstable rhythm that remains legible at display sizes.
Well-suited for horror and dark-fantasy branding, including posters, title sequences, game and streaming thumbnails, album/merch graphics, and event promotions where immediate mood matters more than long-form readability. It works especially well for headlines, logos, and short callouts at larger sizes where the spiky contour detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, cursed manuscripts, and creature-feature posters. Its aggressive spikes and corrupted edges create tension and a sense of danger, giving text a ritualistic, haunted energy.
The design appears intended to fuse a traditional, old-world letter skeleton with heavy edge distress and thorn-like protrusions to instantly signal menace. The goal is high-impact atmosphere—creating a corrupted, supernatural texture that reads as fear, danger, and spectacle.
In running text, the texture becomes a continuous dark fringe along baselines and caps, so the font performs best when given generous tracking and line spacing. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed logic, helping headings, labels, and short phrases feel cohesive across cases.
