A condensed, hand-rendered display face with tall proportions and irregular stroke edges that feel brush- or pen-drawn. Strokes narrow into sharp tapers and thorn-like terminals, with occasional hooked finishes and small notches that roughen the silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, while curves and diagonals wobble slightly, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals keep the same angular, distressed treatment, staying legible while emphasizing texture over precision.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as horror movie titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, album art, or game UI headers where the spiky texture can be appreciated. It also works for chapter headings or pull quotes in themed editorial layouts when paired with a quiet, neutral body text.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror lettering, haunted-house signage, and spooky storytelling. Its prickly tapers and scratchy contours suggest tension and unease, reading as supernatural, cursed, and night-time themed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through distressed, tapering strokes and thorny terminals while maintaining readable letterforms in a compact, vertical stance. It prioritizes atmosphere and dramatic texture for display settings.
Word shapes feel lively and slightly chaotic due to variable stroke irregularities and differing terminal treatments, which adds character but can increase visual noise at small sizes. The condensed footprint lets it stack tightly for headings, while the rough perimeter remains the dominant visual feature.
