A condensed, display-oriented hand-drawn style with sharp, flame-like terminals and uneven stroke edges. Letterforms combine thin-to-thicker transitions with abrupt tapers, producing a carved/inked rhythm that feels intentionally irregular. The uppercase set is tall and angular with narrow counters, while the lowercase is smaller and more broken in silhouette, creating a pronounced size contrast between cases. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably, enhancing the restless, scratchy texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, poster headlines, game or film branding, chapter openers, and event promos where atmosphere matters more than extended readability. It can also work for logos and packaging in dark, fantasy, or occult-themed contexts when given enough size and spacing.
The font projects a horror-leaning tone—ritualistic, suspenseful, and slightly theatrical—like lettering cut into stone or painted in hurried strokes. Its pointed ends and ragged contours add tension and a sense of unease, making even simple phrases feel ominous and supernatural.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate spooky effect through narrow proportions, exaggerated verticality, and aggressively tapered, jagged terminals. Irregular stroke behavior and varying widths seem deliberately used to create a hand-made, unsettling texture that reads as supernatural and dramatic.
At text sizes the spiky terminals and irregular edges become the dominant texture, so readability depends heavily on generous sizing and careful tracking. Numbers and several capitals echo the same dagger-like vertical emphasis, which helps keep headings cohesive but can look busy in dense settings.
