A sharp, blackletter-influenced display face with narrow proportions and dramatic thick–thin contrast. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and small thorn-like spur details, giving many joins a chiseled, blade-cut feel. Counters are relatively tight, curves are slightly irregular and calligraphic, and the overall rhythm mixes straight verticals with brisk, angled diagonals. Uppercase forms read as ornamental and emphatic, while the lowercase keeps the same pointed logic with compact bowls and a modest, abbreviated x-height.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and atmosphere are desired—film/game titles, horror or fantasy posters, event flyers, packaging, and logo-style wordmarks. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the pointed details and internal contrast remain clear.
The letterforms project an eerie, old-world intensity—more cryptic and ceremonial than friendly or neutral. Its spiked terminals and gothic construction lend a sense of danger and drama, evoking folklore, haunted signage, and supernatural storytelling.
The design appears intended to fuse gothic/blackletter structure with exaggerated spikes and tapered cuts, prioritizing mood and impact over neutrality. It aims to create a dense, dramatic word shape that feels historic and unsettling in contemporary themed graphics.
The design maintains a consistent system of sharp terminals and angular inflections across letters and numerals, helping it feel cohesive in headlines. The most distinctive moments come from the thorny cross-strokes and the way curves pinch into points, which increases texture and visual noise at smaller sizes.
