A flared serif display face with pronounced wedge terminals, sharp notches, and irregular, ink-like contours. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and occasional spur-like protrusions, creating a hand-cut, slightly distressed silhouette rather than a perfectly machined outline. Capitals are broad and assertive with deep interior cuts; lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height while keeping quirky, angled terminals and uneven bowl shaping. Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as horror or fantasy titles, Halloween promotions, game logos, posters, and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, ominous accent. It can work for pull quotes or section headers when you want strong personality, but the sharp detail and high contrast favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone feels darkly playful—evoking old broadsides, potion labels, or haunted storybook titling more than formal editorial typography. Its jagged tapers and inky nicks add tension and theatricality, giving text a subtly menacing, folkloric character without becoming illegible at display sizes.
The design intent appears to be a dramatic, characterful display serif that blends vintage carved-letter cues with spooky, irregular edge treatments. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture—using tapered wedges, nicks, and exaggerated contrast to make even simple words feel stylized and slightly unsettling.
Texture is a key feature: many terminals end in sharp wedges and small hooks, and counters often have slightly pinched or asymmetrical shapes that create a lively rhythm across words. Spacing appears generous enough for headlines, while the uneven edge detail suggests it will look best when allowed to breathe rather than tightly tracked.
