A decorative serif display face with narrow proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Stems stay largely low-contrast but end in sharp, torn-looking spurs and tapered terminals, giving many letters a hooky, chipped silhouette. Caps borrow loosely from classical serif structures while introducing asymmetric nicks and exaggerated flicks; lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height and simplified, blocky joins that keep counters tight. Numerals and punctuation echo the same blade-like finishing, producing a cohesive set that reads as intentionally distressed rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to short display settings such as poster headlines, event promos, chapter titles, and packaging where a quirky-dark mood is desired. It can also work for game UI headings or themed signage when used sparingly and sized large enough for the spurred details to hold up.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly eerie—more playful than threatening—like a gothic storybook title treated with scratchy ink. The uneven cuts and spur-like terminals create a sense of motion and cheeky unpredictability, lending the face a theatrical, Halloween-adjacent personality.
This font appears designed to merge traditional serif letter skeletons with distressed, thorny finishing to create a one-off, characterful voice. The intent seems to be instant atmosphere—quirky, spooky, and memorable—rather than neutral text utility.
The design relies on decorative terminals for character, so readability improves when set with generous tracking and at display sizes. Mixed-case text shows the strongest effect, as the animated caps contrast with the compact, short lowercase.
