A heavy, display-oriented face with blackletter-inspired structure and aggressively jagged terminals. Strokes end in sharp hooks and thorn-like notches, creating a torn, irregular silhouette while maintaining a consistent, upright backbone. Counters are compact and often angular, and the joins feel chiseled rather than smooth, giving the letterforms a carved, cut-out look. The texture across words is dense and dark, with pronounced decorative edges that dominate the rhythm more than traditional serifs.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween promotions, game and film titling, album or podcast covers, and themed event flyers. It performs most convincingly at larger sizes where the thorny detailing can read clearly and contribute to the intended texture.
The overall tone is theatrical and menacing, evoking haunted signage, old curses, and pulp-horror titling. Its spiky contours and distressed edges read as dangerous and supernatural rather than refined or literary. The font feels designed to signal tension and atmosphere immediately, even at a glance.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter-like mass and verticality with spiked, distressed detailing to create an immediately eerie display voice. Its priority is atmosphere and recognizability over neutrality, emphasizing dramatic edges and a dark, compact word shape for attention-grabbing headlines.
The silhouette is highly active, with frequent inward bites and outward barbs that create strong sparkle in headlines. Numerals follow the same angular, ornamented logic, keeping the set visually unified for posters and titles that mix text and numbers.
