A sharp, distressed display face built from irregular blackletter-like silhouettes and thorny terminals. Strokes taper into needle points and hook-like spurs, with frequent gouged notches along stems that create a serrated edge profile. Counters are relatively small and uneven, and many letters feature downward “drip” protrusions that add a wet-ink, horror-prop texture. Overall proportions stay fairly compact with an upright stance, while glyph widths vary noticeably to keep a hand-cut, unpredictable rhythm.
Well-suited to short, high-impact typography such as movie or podcast titles, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, metal or dark-themed band branding, and poster headlines. It can also work for game interfaces or chapter headers where atmosphere matters more than long-form legibility.
The font projects an ominous, supernatural tone—part gothic ritual, part creature-feature title card. Its spikes and drips read as aggressive and unsettling, evoking darkness, danger, and the theatrical aesthetics of horror and metal culture.
The design appears intended to deliver instant “spooky” atmosphere through exaggerated spikes, drips, and distressed contours, borrowing from gothic/blackletter structure while pushing it into a more chaotic, creaturely display style.
In text settings the strong texture quickly dominates, so readability is best at larger sizes where the internal gaps and spurs don’t close up. Capitals carry a more emblematic, rune-like presence, while lowercase and numerals maintain the same distressed vocabulary for consistent mood across mixed-case lines.
