A condensed serif with sharp, forked terminals and thorn-like spurs that appear at stroke ends and along verticals. Strokes are predominantly vertical with tapered tips and occasional wedge-like flares, giving the outlines a carved, blade-cut feel rather than smooth bracketed serifs. Curves are tight and slightly pinched, counters are compact, and joins often culminate in pointed notches that read like small barbs. The texture is dark and crisp, with consistent detailing across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and a slightly irregular silhouette created by the repeated spurs.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title sequences, album/film artwork, and dramatic editorial headlines where the spurred detailing can be appreciated. It works well for horror, gothic, dark-fantasy, and Halloween-adjacent branding, and for short quotations or pull-caps where texture is a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, leaning toward macabre and fantasy-leaning historical signage. The pointed spurs and dagger-like endings add tension and menace, while the condensed rhythm keeps it formal and ceremonial rather than playful.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif skeleton with aggressively sharpened, ornamental terminals to create a memorable, high-drama display face. The consistent use of forked tips and mid-stem spurs suggests a deliberate aim for a carved/engraved or blackletter-adjacent atmosphere while retaining a readable serif framework.
Capitals feel tall and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a narrow, vertical cadence; the spurred detailing remains prominent even in rounded letters, where it creates a serrated edge effect. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, pointed-terminal logic, helping headings and short bursts of text keep a unified, stylized voice.
