A jagged, display-oriented alphabet built from long, tapering strokes that flare into needle points and blade-like terminals. Letterforms lean on sharp angles, split strokes, and occasional curved slashes, creating a high-energy, irregular silhouette while keeping an overall upright stance. Counters are tight and often triangular or eye-shaped, and round letters are suggested with faceted curves rather than smooth bowls. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-cut, scratchy rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to short bursts of text—titles, headings, packaging callouts, and on-screen display where the spiky silhouettes can be appreciated. It works well for horror and dark-fantasy branding, escape-room or event promo graphics, and game or film materials where an unsettling, carved aesthetic supports the theme.
The texture and aggressive points give the face an ominous, arcane tone—more carved sigil than conventional text. It evokes horror title cards, forbidden manuscripts, and ritual markings, projecting tension and threat without resorting to drips or heavy mass.
The design appears intended to mimic cut or etched lettering, prioritizing sharp gesture and eerie atmosphere over neutral readability. Its varied widths and expressive terminals suggest a deliberate, handcrafted feel meant to look like runes or improvised marks while remaining recognizably Latin.
Distinctive wedge terminals and spur-like protrusions appear throughout, and the numerals follow the same knife-edged logic for a consistent set. The sharp joins and narrow interior spaces can visually fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs, so contrast and size choices matter.
