A condensed display face built from sharp, knife-like strokes with aggressive tapering and jagged terminals. Letterforms are narrowly proportioned with uneven widths, creating a restless rhythm across words. Stems often pinch to points, with small interior notches and angular joins that evoke carved or clawed shapes. The texture is high-impact and dark, with crisp edges and limited rounding, keeping counters relatively tight and silhouettes highly distinctive.
Best suited to short, high-contrast settings such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, album or event posters, and game/stream graphics where an immediate sense of danger is desired. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from an aggressive, spiked silhouette.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, with a gothic, horror-leaning edge that reads as cursed, arcane, and threatening. Its spiked contours and tense spacing give text an uneasy, prickly energy that suits suspense and shock-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through narrow, blade-like construction and dramatic, thorny terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutral readability in extended text.
In longer lines the irregular widths and sharp internal cuts create a lively, turbulent pattern; it holds up best when given generous size and breathing room. Numerals and capitals carry the same pointed vocabulary, helping maintain a consistent mood across mixed content.
