A heavy, blackletter-leaning display face with aggressively irregular, eroded contours. Stems and bowls are broken up by thorn-like spikes and chipped edges, creating a torn silhouette and lively texture across words. The letterforms keep a mostly vertical posture with sharp terminals and angular joins, while counters vary from fairly open to partially pinched by the distressed detailing. Overall spacing reads slightly uneven due to the ragged outlines, giving the text a restless, animated rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as horror or dark-fantasy posters, game/film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, and gritty album or merch graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a strong atmospheric texture is desired, but it is less appropriate for small-size body text.
The font projects a dark, ominous tone with a gritty, supernatural edge. Its serrated outlines and thorny terminals evoke decay, danger, and folkloric horror, lending an unsettling energy even in short phrases. The overall impression is theatrical and confrontational rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror atmosphere through a consistent distressed, spiked contour treatment applied to a traditional display skeleton. By combining blackletter-like structure with chaotic erosion, it prioritizes mood and texture for attention-grabbing headlines.
The distressed treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a strong “ink-worn” texture at display sizes. In longer lines, the rough silhouette increases visual noise, so generous tracking and leading help preserve word shapes and readability.
