A condensed, vertical display face with heavy, blocky strokes and sharp blackletter-like construction. Letterforms are built from straight, angular segments with occasional notches and wedge terminals, creating a rigid, architectural silhouette. Along many lower edges the contours break into irregular, drip-like serrations, adding a distressed, melting texture while maintaining consistent, tall proportions. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and spacing is tight, producing a dark, compact text color with strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display applications such as horror or fantasy titles, event posters, seasonal promotions, and bold logotypes where the distressed edges can be appreciated. It can also work for short taglines on packaging or labels that want a gothic, spooky personality, but the dense texture is less ideal for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font projects a macabre, haunted tone—part medieval gothic, part horror poster—amplified by the dripping erosion and pointed terminals. It feels dramatic and mischievous, suggesting cursed manuscripts, spooky attractions, and stylized menace rather than neutrality or refinement.
The design appears intended to merge condensed blackletter cues with a deliberately rough, dripping treatment to create instant atmosphere and spectacle. It prioritizes impact and theme over neutrality, aiming to look like a stylized, haunted headline rather than conventional text typography.
In longer lines the dense texture and repeated vertical stems create an imposing wall of type; the irregular “drip” detailing reads best at larger sizes where the rough edges remain distinct. Numerals and capitals match the same rigid, chiseled logic, keeping a unified, emblematic look across the set.
