A hand-drawn, brush-ink display face with pointed terminals, sharp notches, and wedge-like joins. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with a forward slant and a slightly uneven, organic rhythm that keeps letters lively rather than mechanically consistent. Counters are compact and often teardrop-shaped, and many forms taper into blade-like ends that create a serrated silhouette. The lowercase is relatively small against tall ascenders, and overall spacing feels tight, reinforcing a condensed, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display settings such as poster headlines, title cards, book covers, game titles, and themed packaging where a bold, ominous texture is desirable. It works especially well when paired with simpler body text and given generous size to let the pointed terminals and contrast read clearly.
The letterforms project a dark, theatrical energy—more cursed manuscript than casual note. Its spiky brush shapes and dramatic contrast evoke fantasy and horror cues, lending an intense, ominous tone even in short words.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, ink-brush lettering with a gothic-fantasy attitude, prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over strict regularity. Its narrow, slanted forms and aggressive terminals are tuned for impactful words and branding moments rather than long passages.
Capitals are highly stylized and attention-grabbing, while the numerals echo the same sharp, cut-in brush behavior for a cohesive set. The strong texture and irregular edges add movement at larger sizes but can become visually busy as size decreases.
