A decorative serif with narrow, tapered strokes and sharp, flared terminals that feel carved or cut rather than drawn. The silhouettes are intentionally irregular: edges are ragged, counters show pitting and bite-like voids, and strokes vary in thickness in a worn, ink-broken way. Serifs and arms often end in pointed spurs, while round letters keep open, crescent-like bowls that emphasize a chiseled rhythm. Overall spacing reads steady, but individual glyph widths and interior texture create a lively, uneven texture across words.
Best used for display typography where the distressed detailing can be appreciated: film or podcast titles, horror/fantasy book covers, event posters, haunted-attraction branding, and game interfaces that need an aged or arcane flavor. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings in themed editorial layouts, but the texture may reduce clarity for long body text.
The font projects a dark, archaic atmosphere—part old broadsheet, part occult ephemera. Its distressed texture and thorny terminals suggest age, mystery, and a slightly sinister theatricality, making it feel suited to folklore, horror, and vintage curiosities.
The design appears intended to evoke an antiquated, carved-letter look with deliberate wear—combining sharp serifed forms with erosion and ink-break artifacts to create an old-world, eerie presence for themed display use.
In the sample text, the distressed interior speckling becomes a prominent pattern at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it begins to merge into the strokes, increasing visual density. Uppercase forms appear more emblematic and decorative, while lowercase maintains the same cut, spurred motif for consistent tone.
