A blackletter-inspired display face with jagged, tapered strokes and sharp wedge-like terminals. Forms are angular and slightly irregular, with a carved, knife-cut feel rather than smooth curves; round letters become faceted bowls and diamond-like counters. Stroke endings frequently flare or hook, creating a restless silhouette, while the overall rhythm remains coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase is compact with narrow apertures and a restrained, short x-height presence, and the numerals follow the same chiseled, pointed construction for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as horror titles, Halloween graphics, game logos, poster headlines, and book or album covers. It can also support packaging or signage that benefits from an antiquated, ominous blackletter flavor, especially when paired with simpler text faces for body copy.
The font projects a dark, ritualistic tone—more haunted manuscript than refined calligraphy. Its spines, hooks, and roughened edges suggest menace and mystery, reading as theatrical and foreboding without turning into drips or slime. The overall mood is gothic and archaic, suited to eerie storytelling and ominous atmosphere.
The design appears intended to evoke a medieval/blackletter tradition filtered through a horror aesthetic, using sharpened terminals, faceted curves, and controlled irregularity to create an unsettling, carved-letter look. Consistency across the alphabet and figures suggests it was drawn for display typography where atmosphere and silhouette matter more than quiet readability.
In longer lines, the spiky terminals and tight interior spaces create a dense, high-texture color that works best at larger sizes. The distinctive diamond-shaped counters and uneven edges add character, but also increase visual noise in small text and tightly tracked settings.
