A heavy, upright display face built from broad, compact strokes and deep, triangular notches that act like spiky serifs. Many terminals flare outward into horn-like points, with concave bite-marks cut from stems, bowls, and crossbars. Curves stay chunky and rounded but are repeatedly interrupted by sharp incisions, giving the glyphs a carved, chiseled silhouette. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and blocklike, while the lowercase keeps a large, readable core with the same pointed terminal treatment; figures match the set with bold ovals and angular cut-ins.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, logos, poster headlines, and themed promotions where the spiked silhouettes can read clearly. It also works well for packaging, party invitations, and game or streaming graphics that need an instantly eerie, stylized voice.
The repeated spikes and carved-in nicks create an ominous, haunted tone—more “creature feature” than refined classicism. It feels theatrical and seasonal, with a playful menace that suits horror and Halloween-forward styling without becoming drippy or distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable display face with a horror-tinged personality created through consistent incised cuts and flared, pointed terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic recognition in headline use.
Word shapes remain fairly even and legible at display sizes because the interiors are generous, but the aggressive notching can fill in or shimmer when used too small or tightly tracked. The visual texture is strongest in mixed-case settings where the pointed terminals create a consistent, jagged rhythm along baselines and caps.
