A condensed, display-oriented face with tall lowercase proportions and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes show medium contrast with abrupt tapers and wedge-like terminals, producing sharp inner corners and uneven outer edges that feel carved rather than drawn. Curves are slightly squared-off and lumpy, counters are narrow, and the baseline rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, giving the alphabet a rough, artisanal texture while remaining legible in short settings.
Best suited to headlines, title cards, posters, and packaging where a spooky atmosphere is the primary goal. It performs well for short lines and punchy phrases on dark or textured backgrounds; for longer passages, the tight widths and irregular edges will feel busy, so pairing with a calmer text face is advisable.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, with a ritualistic, haunted-poster energy. Its jagged edges and abrupt terminals suggest danger and tension, evoking vintage horror ephemera and supernatural storytelling rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly creepy, handcrafted voice through narrowed proportions and deliberately roughened outlines. Its consistent use of spiky terminals and chiseled silhouettes aims to create high-impact display typography that reads as eerie and stylized even at a glance.
Caps read like simplified blackletter-inspired forms without full gothic construction: straight verticals, boxed bowls, and occasional hook-like details. Numerals and punctuation carry the same distressed, carved quality, helping the set feel cohesive across headings and short callouts.
