This typeface uses sharp, broken stroke terminals and irregular edge erosion to create a cut-and-torn silhouette. Stems and serifs feel calligraphic yet intentionally damaged, with thin hairline notches contrasting against heavier, inked-in strokes. Many characters show pointed wedges, hooked ends, and small drip-like protrusions that disrupt otherwise traditional blackletter-inspired structures. Spacing and letterfit vary by glyph, reinforcing an uneven, hand-wrought rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography where texture and atmosphere are the priority—such as horror and fantasy titles, event posters, haunted-house or Halloween promotions, game branding/UI moments, and album or book covers. It will be most effective in short phrases, logos, and punchy headings where the jagged detailing can read as intentional character rather than noise.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking haunted signage, cursed manuscripts, and horror title cards. Its spurs and ragged contours add tension and aggression, while the gothic skeleton keeps it rooted in old-world, arcane storytelling.
The design appears intended to blend a gothic/blackletter foundation with deliberate distressing—spikes, nicks, and ink-tear artifacts—to create an immediately unsettling, supernatural voice for thematic display work.
In the sample text, the distressed contours remain visible at display sizes, and the font’s bite-like notches and thorny terminals are a defining feature. Numerals follow the same shredded, ink-splintered treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short bursts of text.
