A sharp, display-oriented serif with aggressively tapered terminals and thorn-like notches that give each stroke a blade-cut silhouette. The letters lean consistently, with a calligraphic rhythm and moderate thick–thin modulation that reads like a pointed-pen translation into hard, angular edges. Counters are compact and often pinched, while joins and serifs break into hooks and barbs, creating an uneven, lively edge without feeling random. Numerals follow the same spurred, cut-out construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across the set.
Best used at headline sizes where the hooked serifs and knife-like terminals can be appreciated without crowding. It suits horror and dark-fantasy titling, event posters, game branding, album/merch graphics, and packaging that wants an eerie, aggressive flavor. For longer passages, generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve clarity while keeping the intended bite.
The font projects a theatrical, ominous tone—more cursed manuscript than classic blackletter—suggesting danger, ritual, and supernatural suspense. Its jagged motion and hooked details create a sense of agitation and mystery, making even simple words feel charged and threatening.
The design appears intended to deliver a spooky, high-impact display voice by combining calligraphic slant with exaggerated, thorny serifs and irregular cuts. It prioritizes atmosphere and immediacy over neutrality, aiming for a recognizable ‘cursed’ signature in short phrases and titles.
In running text the dense spacing and frequent spurs create a high-contrast texture that can look intentionally frantic, especially in mixed case. Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality through large barbed serifs and dramatic entry/exit strokes, while lowercase retains the same sharpness in a tighter, more compact silhouette.
