A condensed display face with jagged, irregular contours and chiseled, tapering terminals. Stems read as mostly vertical and upright, but edges are intentionally uneven, creating a torn, weathered silhouette rather than clean strokes. Counters are generally tight and sometimes pinched, with occasional thorn-like protrusions and notched joins that give letters a carved, scratchy rhythm. Capitals are tall and narrow with a slightly medieval, blackletter-adjacent construction, while lowercase keeps a compact, upright structure with similarly distressed finishing.
Well-suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and game or event branding. It can also work for album/film poster headlines and chapter or section openers where an aged, unsettling mood is desired.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, evoking haunted ephemera, occult props, and old horror title cards. Its roughened edges and spiked details add tension and unease, making text feel aged, cursed, or pulled from a folklore manuscript.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing voice that blends gothic/medieval proportions with distressed, spiked detailing. The goal seems to be immediate mood-setting—suggesting danger and mystery—while remaining legible enough for headline-length text.
The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, but the intensity varies slightly from glyph to glyph, adding a handmade, organic texture. Because the interior spaces can close up in smaller sizes, it reads strongest when given room and contrast.
