A decorative display face with heavy, compact letterforms and abrupt spurs that break the outlines into pointed, thorn-like terminals. Strokes are mostly uniform in thickness, with small wedge flares and carved-in notches that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are tightened and often end in sharp hooks (notably in C/G/S and the bowls of a/e), while verticals stay dominant and rigid, giving the alphabet a tense, bristling rhythm. Uppercase reads as sturdy and emblematic; lowercase is similarly structured, with distinctive, angular feet and short ascenders that keep word shapes dense and punchy.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the spiky detailing can read clearly: film or episode titles, Halloween promotions, game and tabletop fantasy/horror branding, event posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a sinister, retro display tone, especially at larger sizes.
The sharp fins and cut-in corners evoke classic horror titling, haunted-house signage, and vintage shock-poster energy. Its texture feels aggressive and theatrical rather than playful, projecting suspense and a slightly macabre, old-world mood.
The design appears aimed at delivering instant genre signaling through aggressively pointed terminals and carved, decorative shaping, while keeping overall forms familiar enough to remain readable in headlines. The consistent application of spurs across the set suggests it was built for cohesive, attention-grabbing titling rather than extended text.
The spurs are applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong “barbed” texture in running text. Numerals follow the same hooked and flared logic, helping headings and dates feel stylistically unified.
