A decorative serif display face with sharp, blade-like terminals and pronounced flaring at stroke ends. Letterforms combine chunky, sculpted stems with tapered spur points, creating a jagged silhouette and a slightly irregular rhythm across the line. Curves are tightened and often pulled into hooked or teardrop-like forms, while diagonals and serifs finish in crisp, asymmetric spikes. The overall texture reads dense and ink-heavy, with lively edge detail that stays consistent from caps through lowercase and numerals.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where the sharp terminals and sculpted strokes can read clearly. It fits horror and occult theming, fantasy and dark-adventure branding, game titles, event posters, and packaging or labels that benefit from an ominous, theatrical presence.
The font projects an eerie, storybook darkness—part gothic omen, part fantasy spellbook. Its pointed endings and hooked strokes create tension and menace, giving text a theatrical, unsettling tone suited to supernatural or cursed narratives.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, blackletter-adjacent mood without fully committing to strict medieval forms, using exaggerated spurs and flared serifs to create a consistently menacing display texture. It prioritizes atmosphere and distinctive silhouettes over neutral readability, aiming to make even simple words feel dramatic and otherworldly.
Caps are especially ornamental, with dramatic top serifs and sharpened joins that create strong word-shape contrast. Lowercase retains the same thorny detailing without becoming overly ornate, helping short passages remain legible at display sizes. Numerals echo the same flared, daggered finishing, maintaining a cohesive voice in titles that mix letters and numbers.
