A condensed display face with jagged, knife-like terminals and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes taper sharply and break into pointed notches, creating a rough silhouette while maintaining mostly upright posture and a consistent vertical rhythm. The texture is intentionally uneven—curves look carved rather than drawn—yet counters remain readable, especially in rounded forms like O and Q. Numerals and capitals follow the same torn-edge logic, with narrow proportions and high, tense verticals that emphasize height over width.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and dark-fantasy or occult-themed game UI headers. It can work for brief pull quotes or packaging callouts where atmosphere matters more than long-form comfort.
The letterforms project an ominous, theatrical mood—more haunted-house poster than historical blackletter. The sharp tapering and ragged edges suggest danger, superstition, and nocturnal storytelling, giving text an immediate sense of suspense and unease.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly spooky, hand-rendered look by combining condensed proportions with aggressively pointed terminals and distressed edges. Its goal is to evoke a carved or torn aesthetic that reads clearly at display sizes while amplifying tension and drama.
Spacing appears tight and the shapes create strong vertical color, making the face feel dense in lines of text. The irregular outlines add visual noise that reads as purposeful distressing, so the font’s character intensifies as size increases and the serrated details become more apparent.
