A decorative outline face with blackletter-leaning skeletons and angular, notched terminals. The letterforms are built from a single, light contour that creates a hollow interior, with subtly wavy edges that feel hand-rendered rather than mechanically smooth. Strokes maintain an overall monoline outline while introducing small kinks, spur-like corners, and occasional bulbous inflections that add texture. Proportions are upright-to-slightly slanted with condensed footprints, and the lowercase shows tall ascenders and compact bowls that keep the texture lively in words.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title treatments, album/track artwork, and themed packaging where the hollow outline can breathe. It works well for horror, fantasy, medieval, or retro-styled branding accents, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the wavy contour detail reads clearly.
The font conveys a Gothic, storybook mood—suggesting haunted ephemera, old posters, and occult or fantasy themes. Its jittery outline and blackletter cues add drama without becoming fully traditional or formal, making it feel playful-spooky rather than solemn. The overall tone reads vintage and theatrical, with a crafty, handmade edge.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired structure with a lighter, outlined construction and an intentionally imperfect contour, creating a dramatic display face that feels vintage and handmade. The focus is on atmosphere and texture in headlines rather than quiet, continuous reading.
Counters remain open and readable for an outline style, but the irregular contour introduces a deliberately distressed rhythm that becomes more prominent at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same angular, chiseled construction, keeping a consistent ornamental texture across letters and figures.
