A compact, heavy display face built from thick, mostly monoline strokes with slightly uneven, hand-cut contours. Terminals frequently flare into pointed spikes and small horn-like protrusions, creating a jagged silhouette while maintaining clear, upright structure. Counters are generally open and rounded, with occasional bite-like notches and irregular apertures that add texture without collapsing legibility. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with consistent weight and a deliberately rough edge treatment across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, and punchy callouts on flyers or packaging. It can also work for game or stream graphics where an eerie, stylized headline voice is needed; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve the spiky details.
The letterforms project a haunted, creature-feature mood—more theatrical than truly gruesome—through thorny tips and rough, distressed edges. Its visual tone evokes classic horror posters and spooky-season signage, balancing playful eeriness with assertive impact.
Designed to deliver an immediate spooky character through bold massing and thorn-like terminals, while keeping letter skeletons familiar enough for quick recognition. The consistent weight and repeated edge motifs suggest an intention to feel like carved, inked, or singed lettering for themed display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same spiked terminal language, giving mixed-case setting a cohesive, characterful texture. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, reading clearly while retaining the ragged, carved-out detailing. The font’s personality comes primarily from its silhouette; at smaller sizes the fine spikes may visually merge, while at larger sizes the textured edges become a key feature.
