A condensed display face built from tall, compressed letterforms with sharp, thorn-like terminals and exaggerated tapering. Strokes swing between thick vertical stems and razor-thin hairline cuts, creating a stark, high-contrast rhythm and a carved, blade-like silhouette. Curves are tightened and slightly irregular, with pointed joins and small interior notches that give counters a tense, pinched feel. The lowercase keeps a relatively small x-height against long ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a narrow, vertical emphasis across words and lines.
Best suited to short display settings where its spiky texture can be appreciated—film and event posters, game and streaming title cards, haunted attraction signage, album art, and dark-themed packaging. It works well as a headline or wordmark accent paired with a simpler text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror and dark fantasy through spines, spikes, and knife-edge details. Its aggressive texture reads as eerie and ritualistic, making even simple words feel charged and unsettling.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through narrow proportions, extreme contrast, and thorned terminals—prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutral readability. The consistent use of tapered cuts and pointed edges suggests a deliberate goal of creating a sharp, unsettling texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and thin hairlines add a distinctive, scratchy texture; at smaller sizes those fine cuts and narrow counters may close up, so careful sizing and spacing will help preserve clarity. Capitals are especially commanding and graphic, while the lowercase retains the same pointed vocabulary for cohesive headlines.
