A decorative blackletter-inspired display face with chunky vertical masses and sharply notched, spurred terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight and angular with occasional tight curves, producing a faceted, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are small and crisp, and many joins form pointed inner corners that read as fangs or barbs. Proportions feel compact and weighty, with pronounced top and bottom accents that create a jagged rhythm across words, while each glyph maintains a consistent set of spur shapes and edge chamfers.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween posters, event titles, game or film headers, album artwork, and themed packaging. It works well where a gothic-spooky atmosphere is desired, and is most effective when used sparingly for headlines, logos, or dramatic pull quotes rather than long passages.
The letterforms project a haunted, storybook darkness—more theatrical than gruesome—mixing medieval gravitas with playful menace. The repeated spikes and cut-in notches give a sense of danger and enchantment, evoking curses, crypts, and gothic folklore.
The design intention appears to be a legible, modernized blackletter display with exaggerated spurs and notches that signal eerie theatrics. Its consistent edge language prioritizes atmosphere and silhouette-based recognition, aiming for bold, decorative impact in themed contexts.
The texture becomes dense quickly in continuous text due to heavy stroke masses and tight apertures, so it reads best at larger sizes and with ample tracking. Capitals carry strong emblem-like presence, while the lowercase retains the same thorny vocabulary, keeping the tone consistent across cases and numerals.
