A sharp, blackletter-inspired display face with tall, narrow proportions and aggressive, needle-like terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with abrupt tapers and broken-looking joins that create a ragged, thorny edge rather than smooth curves. Capitals carry ornamental, sometimes enclosed interior shapes, while lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height and tightly pinched counters. The overall rhythm is irregular and energetic, with pointed diagonals, hooked stems, and a slightly distressed silhouette that reads as intentionally menacing.
Best suited for display settings such as horror and Halloween promotional materials, spooky event posters, game or film titles, album/merch graphics, and branding that needs an occult or gothic edge. It works well for logos, chapter titles, and short callouts where the sharp texture can be appreciated without sustained reading.
The font projects a dark, ritualistic tone—part medieval manuscript, part horror title card. Its spurs and blade-like tapers create a sense of tension and threat, giving text an ominous, theatrical presence suited to spooky or arcane themes.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional blackletter construction with exaggerated spikes and eerie tapering to create an immediately ominous, high-impact texture. Decorative capitals and jagged stroke endings reinforce a supernatural or medieval-horror atmosphere while keeping a consistent, cohesive silhouette across the set.
At text sizes the dense blackletter structure and tight counters can reduce readability, especially in long passages; it performs best when given generous tracking and used in short bursts. Numerals and capitals maintain the same jagged vocabulary, helping headlines and short labels feel consistent across mixed content.
