A condensed display face with chiseled, irregular contours and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show a slightly calligraphic, inked feel with medium contrast and frequent wedge-like serifs that flick outward, creating a restless silhouette. The letterforms lean on narrow proportions and tight interior counters, with angular joins and occasional asymmetry that reads as intentionally distressed rather than purely geometric. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, reinforcing a hand-cut, poster-like rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the jagged terminals and condensed proportions can do the atmospheric work: horror or thriller titles, Halloween announcements, haunted attraction branding, game UI headers, and dramatic chapter headings. It can also serve as an accent font paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font conveys a spooky, old-world mood—part gothic, part folkloric—with sharp edges that suggest thorns, claws, or carved wood. Its uneven, pointed detailing adds tension and drama, making text feel ominous and ceremonial rather than neutral. The tone lands closer to theatrical horror and haunted storybook ephemera than modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to evoke a spooky, antiquated texture through narrowed proportions, wedge serifs, and irregular, knife-cut contours. The consistent use of sharp tapers and distressed edges suggests a focus on creating strong silhouette impact for themed display typography.
Capitals are especially tall and narrow with pronounced wedge serifs, while the lowercase maintains the same serrated terminal language and compact counters. Numerals follow the same carved aesthetic, with distinctive pointed endings that keep them cohesive in headline settings.
