A decorative serif with sharp, flared terminals and irregular, wedge-like serifs that create a jagged silhouette. Strokes show modest contrast with pointed joins and occasional hooked or notched endings, giving each character a carved, slightly warped feel. Proportions are compact with tight counters and a lively, uneven rhythm across the alphabet, while numerals follow the same angular, tapered construction for a consistent set.
Ideal for display settings where atmosphere matters—horror and fantasy posters, Halloween promotions, game titles, themed packaging, and chapter headings. It also works well for short quotes or pull lines where its dramatic serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels ominous yet playful—like classic horror title cards, haunted-house signage, or a dark fairy-tale book jacket. Its spurs and spikes add tension and theatrics, suggesting mystery, magic, and a touch of menace without becoming overly distressed or drippy.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic spooky aesthetic through sharpened serifs, tapered strokes, and a slightly irregular, hand-carved rhythm, prioritizing personality and theme over neutral text readability.
The font reads best when given room to breathe: the spiky serifs and compact counters can visually merge at small sizes or in dense blocks. In the sample text, the distinctive terminals provide strong character for headlines, while long passages look intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
