A jagged, spurred display face with narrow proportions and an irregular, hand-worn silhouette. Strokes show medium contrast with sharp wedge terminals and frequent thorn-like protrusions that roughen outer contours. The italic slant and uneven edge texture create an agitated rhythm across words, while counters remain mostly enclosed but look bitten and uneven. Spacing appears slightly tight and the overall color is dark and noisy at text sizes, emphasizing texture over smooth continuity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, metal or punk event flyers, game splash screens, and spooky packaging or branding accents. It performs most convincingly at larger sizes where the thorny detailing can read clearly, rather than in long body copy.
The font projects a sinister, horror-leaning atmosphere—like scratched ink, thorned branches, or distressed blackletter pulled into a more feral form. Its aggressive spikes and torn edges suggest danger and unease, making it feel ritualistic, haunted, and intentionally unsettling.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable horror texture by combining an italicized, gothic-leaning skeleton with deliberately ragged outlines and spiked terminals. The goal is expressive atmosphere and visual bite, prioritizing mood and texture over neutrality and continuous readability.
Uppercase forms tend to be angular and rigid, while lowercase retains the same serrated treatment, keeping the texture consistent across cases. Numerals match the spiky motif and remain fairly compact, supporting headline use where a cohesive, distressed tone is desired.
