A condensed, jagged display face with high-contrast strokes that taper into needle-like terminals. Stems are mostly upright but intentionally uneven, with rough, inked edges and occasional drip-like descenders that extend below the baseline. Counters are narrow and irregular, and crossbars and joins often look carved or splintered rather than cleanly geometric, creating a tense, scratchy rhythm across words. Overall spacing feels compact, with variable character widths and a hand-cut silhouette that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, game or event branding, and poster or cover typography where texture and atmosphere matter more than extended readability. It can also work for logos or chapter openers when used with generous size and spacing.
The font conveys an ominous, haunted tone—more sharp and predatory than playful. Its thorny spikes and subtle drips evoke horror poster lettering, occult ephemera, and unsettling title cards, producing a sense of suspense and danger.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror atmosphere through sharp, tapering strokes and distressed, drip-like details, while keeping an upright, condensed structure that packs impact into narrow headline spaces.
In the text sample, the strong vertical emphasis and tight proportions create a dense texture; the distressed terminals add motion but can reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals and capitals share the same tapered, blade-like logic, helping headlines maintain a consistent, chilling presence.
