A jagged, calligraphy-inflected serif with sharp wedges, thorny terminals, and visibly irregular stroke edges that read like ink dragged across paper. Strokes swing between thin hairline links and heavier swells, with a slight rightward slant and a lively, uneven baseline that enhances the handmade feel. Counters tend to be tight and dark, while serifs and terminals often taper into needle points or hook-like flicks. Overall spacing feels organic rather than mechanical, creating a textured, bitey rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween headlines, spooky event promotions, game titles, film posters, and atmospheric book covers. It can work for brief pull quotes or packaging callouts where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability.
The font projects an eerie, ritualistic tone—part medieval manuscript, part horror prop—using prickly endings and restless contours to suggest tension and unease. Its roughened ink character and angular gestures evoke folklore, curses, and shadowy storytelling rather than polite editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive, hand-inked lettering with aggressive, sharpened terminals—prioritizing narrative mood and dramatic silhouettes over neutral legibility. Its contrasty, tapered strokes and irregular edges are tuned to deliver a haunted, antique flavor in display sizes.
Uppercase forms show strong personality through asymmetric arms, hooked feet, and occasional exaggerated wedges that create dramatic silhouettes. Lowercase maintains the same scratchy energy with compact proportions and narrow apertures, which boosts atmosphere but increases visual density in longer text.
