A tall, tightly set calligraphic display with sharp, brush-like terminals and frequent tapered strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a lively, hand-drawn rhythm, mixing rounded bowls with abrupt, thorny flicks at entry and exit points. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness while ending in fine points, creating a slightly ragged silhouette and energetic texture. Capitals are narrow and upright in structure but embellished with small barbs and hooks; lowercase is compact with a restrained x-height and occasional long ascenders/descenders that add vertical drama.
Best suited to display contexts such as title treatments, posters, book or game covers, and themed branding where a spooky or magical atmosphere is desired. It can also work for short quotes, chapter openers, or logo-like wordmarks, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels eerie and theatrical—like inked lettering for fantasy, Halloween, or dark fairytale themes. Its spiky terminals and restless edges suggest motion and tension, while the calligraphic slant keeps it expressive rather than rigid. The result reads as playful-macabre rather than truly formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, pointed brush-calligraphy—combining narrow, upright constructions with dramatic, thorn-like terminals to create a memorable, genre-forward voice. It prioritizes character and mood over neutrality, aiming for strong impact in headlines and thematic applications.
The texture becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, where the pointed terminals and irregular stroke endings form a distinctive, jagged sparkle. Spacing appears fairly tight, and the narrow forms emphasize verticality, which can make longer passages feel dense; it shines most when allowed breathing room.
