A condensed, blackletter-inspired display face built from sharp, angular strokes with pronounced vertical emphasis. Forms are high-contrast, with thin hairlines terminating in needle-like points and occasional drip-like descenders that extend below the baseline. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, while caps and ascenders maintain a rigid, upright posture. Overall spacing reads compact, with a jagged rhythm created by repeated spikes, hooks, and tapering terminals across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, poster headlines, game or film branding, and packaging where an aggressive texture is desired. It works especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the spikes, hooks, and drip-like terminals remain distinct.
The letterforms project a menacing, ritualistic tone—more haunted manuscript than modern text. The dripping points and barbed terminals suggest decay and danger, making the font feel theatrical and ominous rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to fuse gothic/blackletter structure with horror-era dripping and barbed details, creating a compact display face that signals menace immediately. Its narrow proportions and strong verticals prioritize dramatic silhouette and atmosphere over comfortable long-form reading.
In longer settings the dense texture and frequent pointed terminals create a strong horizontal “fence” effect, especially where repeated verticals appear (e.g., m, n, u, w). The stylization is consistent across letters and numerals, with figures also featuring sharp shoulders and tapered ends to match the set.
