A sharply angular display face with exaggerated, thorn-like terminals and frequent interior notches that carve the strokes into faceted shapes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a chiseled, uneven rhythm: curves are tightened into pointed ovals, and joins often pinch into narrow waists, creating strong light–dark alternation within each glyph. Strokes show pronounced contrast and abrupt transitions, with decorative spikes appearing at caps, cross-strokes, and stroke endings. Overall proportions feel compact but irregular from glyph to glyph, giving the set a deliberately eccentric texture in words.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude are more important than extended readability: posters, game or event titling, spooky or fantasy-themed branding, packaging accents, and logo/wordmark work. It can also serve as a dramatic secondary type for pull quotes or chapter openers when paired with a calmer text face.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly menacing energy—part fantasy, part horror—tempered by a cartoonish awkwardness that keeps it from feeling formal. Its spiked silhouettes and restless counters suggest magic, monsters, and theatrical drama, while the quirky inconsistencies add a hand-made, offbeat personality.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, theatrical look through aggressive terminals, chiseled counters, and intentionally irregular construction. Its consistent spiked motif across letters and numbers suggests a purpose-built decorative face for mood-driven titling rather than neutral typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward dramatic, emblem-like shapes (notably the pointed O/Q and sharp diagonals in V/W/X), while lowercase keeps the same thorned logic in smaller, more idiosyncratic constructions. Numerals match the style with angular bends and blade-like terminals, supporting cohesive titling and short bursts of text.
