A decorative, blackletter-leaning display face built from sharp, irregular strokes and jagged terminals. Letterforms are compact and dark, with pointed notches and thorn-like serifs that create a broken, chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and joins often kink into abrupt angles rather than smooth curves, giving the shapes a restless, hand-cut rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent spiky construction while retaining enough differentiation for short-word readability, and the numerals follow the same faceted, aggressive treatment.
Best suited to short display settings where its jagged blackletter flavor can be appreciated—posters, cover art, title cards, event flyers, and themed packaging. It works especially well for spooky, fantasy, or punk-adjacent graphics, and for brand marks that want a deliberately unruly, hand-cut feel.
The overall tone feels gothic and mischievous—like a haunted fairground or comic-horror prop. Its spiky contours and irregular cuts read as dramatic, slightly chaotic, and intentionally “off,” prioritizing character over polish.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke blackletter tradition while exaggerating it into a more playful, irregular, novelty voice. The consistent spiky terminals and fractured edges suggest an intention to create a bold, attention-grabbing texture for themed display typography rather than continuous reading.
In text settings the dense texture and many sharp interior corners can cause letters to visually mesh at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive torn-and-toothed outline. The design’s uneven edges and varying internal shapes create a lively, animated color that looks purposeful rather than accidental.
