A condensed, heavy display face with blackletter-leaning structure and aggressively tapered terminals. Strokes are chiseled and irregular, with sharp notches, hooked corners, and occasional wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, flame-licked silhouette. Counters tend to be small and pinched, and many forms show asymmetric edges that introduce a restless rhythm across words. The lowercase keeps a readable, fairly straightforward skeleton, but maintains the same pointed terminals and uneven stroke contours, while numerals are chunky and similarly jagged for consistent texture.
Best suited to high-impact headlines for horror, Halloween, dark fantasy, and thriller contexts—especially posters, film/game title cards, event flyers, and book or album covers. It also works well for logos and packaging where a sinister, handcrafted texture is desired, ideally at larger sizes to preserve the spiky interior details.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, suggesting horror title cards, haunted folklore, and occult signage. The sharp spikes and carved edges read as threatening rather than playful, giving the text a ritualistic, nightmarish energy that feels at home in dark fantasy and macabre themes.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved, medieval-gothic atmosphere with modern horror aggression, prioritizing silhouette and texture over smooth neutrality. Its condensed proportions and heavy color aim for immediate attention and a strong thematic cue in display settings.
In the sample text, the tight width and dense blacks create a strong wall-of-type effect, with distinctive silhouettes on capitals and pronounced spurs on letters like K, M, N, and W. The aggressive detailing can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but it excels when allowed to breathe in short headlines where the jagged contours become part of the visual message.
