A heavy display face with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many terminals end in sharp, horn-like flares that read like spiky serifs. Curves are slightly pinched and notches appear at joins, giving forms a chiseled, cut-out silhouette. Counters are relatively small and the overall color is dark and dense, while round letters keep a rounded core shape beneath the pointed detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, chapter heads, game screens, and themed branding where the spiky terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for signage, packaging, and social graphics that aim for an eerie or camp-horror voice, but is less ideal for long passages of small text.
The letterforms project a spooky, gothic-tinged tone that feels equal parts ominous and playful. The pointed terminals and carved texture suggest horror-title theatrics, but the rounded bases keep it approachable enough for tongue-in-cheek Halloween styling.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable spooky display voice by combining dense, bold letterforms with dramatic, flared spikes and carved-in notches. It prioritizes personality and silhouette over neutrality, aiming to evoke classic horror and gothic poster lettering in a modern, consistent set.
Uppercase characters carry the strongest flare and cresting at tops, while lowercase remains sturdy and readable with consistent spurs and wedges. Numerals follow the same cut-and-flare logic, creating a cohesive set for headings and short callouts. The texture becomes more pronounced as size decreases, so its character is most effective when allowed some breathing room.
