A jagged display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and sharp, thorn-like terminals. Strokes are moderately contrasted but intentionally unstable, with wavering edges and occasional notch-like bites that give each form a distressed silhouette. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places yet inconsistent by design, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems, while capitals carry angular, blackletter-leaning structure; numerals follow the same roughened, cut-out treatment for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as horror titles, Halloween promotions, game or attraction branding, and cover art where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability. It can also work for pull quotes, chapter openers, or signage when set large with generous tracking.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking hand-cut lettering, haunted ephemera, and supernatural folklore. Its spurs and ragged edges suggest horror without relying on slime or goo, leaning instead toward a cursed, medieval-tinged menace.
The design appears intended to deliver a spooky, handcrafted impression through roughened outlines, pointed terminals, and blackletter-adjacent construction. It prioritizes atmosphere and dramatic texture, aiming to make even simple phrases feel sinister and aged.
In text, the aggressive contours create strong texture and high visual noise, so spacing and line length will matter: it reads best when given room and used at larger sizes. The distressed shaping is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a unified atmosphere in mixed-case settings.
