A jagged, decorative display face with sharp, thorn-like protrusions along stems and bowls. Strokes keep a fairly even weight while the outlines appear intentionally roughened, creating a carved or corroded edge. Forms are condensed with tall verticals and narrow counters, and terminals often end in spiky wedges that punctuate the silhouette. The rhythm is irregular by design, giving each glyph a slightly gnawed, uneven perimeter while maintaining consistent overall structure for readability at display sizes.
Best suited to titles, posters, and on-screen graphics where a threatening or supernatural mood is desired—such as horror promotions, Halloween materials, haunted-attraction branding, or dark-fantasy game and film titling. It also works well for short editorial callouts and cover typography where texture and atmosphere matter more than long-form readability.
The font projects a dark, ominous tone, balancing legibility with an unsettling, spiked texture. Its pointed terminals and distressed contours evoke danger and supernatural atmosphere, lending a haunted, ritualistic mood to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately unsettling display voice by combining condensed, upright letterforms with aggressively spiked terminals and distressed contours. It prioritizes atmosphere and dramatic silhouette—suggesting worn, cursed, or carved lettering—while keeping core shapes recognizable for headline use.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same aggressive edge treatment, with the lowercase retaining a compact, upright stance. Numerals follow the same distressed, thorned construction, keeping the set visually cohesive. The texture is prominent enough that small sizes may lose clarity, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic silhouettes and serrated edges.
