A heavy display face with jagged, wedge-like terminals and sharply flared strokes that create a carved, irregular silhouette. Letterforms show a mix of compact counters and sudden expansions at joins, producing a lively, uneven rhythm and slightly lurching curves. Serifs behave like small spikes or clawed fins rather than classical brackets, and many strokes end in tapered points that feel hand-cut. The numerals follow the same angular, ornamental logic, with emphatic spurs and stout bowls for strong spot color.
Best suited for short headlines, logos, and titling where the spiky details can remain clear—such as event posters, seasonal Halloween materials, horror or fantasy game titles, and illustrated book covers. It can also work for packaging or signage that benefits from an intentionally eerie, hand-cut display flavor.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, blending horror-tinged sharpness with a mischievous, cartoonish energy. Its prickly terminals and warped contours suggest occult posters, haunted attractions, and vintage “creepy” titling rather than solemn blackletter formality.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through aggressive flares, claw-like terminals, and an intentionally uneven, carved look—prioritizing character and theme over neutral readability.
In text settings the energetic edges create strong texture and visual noise, which reads best when given space; tight tracking or small sizes can cause the interior shapes and spurs to crowd. Capitals are especially assertive and decorative, functioning well as headline forms or initial caps.
