A condensed display face with irregular, hand-drawn contours and sharp, thorn-like terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, but edges wobble and taper unpredictably, creating a restless silhouette. Many forms show narrow counters and pinched joins, with occasional hooked descenders and pointed shoulders that give the alphabet a scratchy, carved look. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a deliberately unstable rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween headlines, poster titles, party invitations, game menus, and themed packaging. It also works well for logos and wordmarks where an intentionally rough, spooky personality is desired, especially when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking haunted-house signage, pulp horror titles, and supernatural paraphernalia. Its angular spikes and uneven ink-like outlines suggest something feral and unsettling, while the exaggerated shapes keep it readable enough to feel playful rather than purely brutal.
The design appears intended to mimic handmade, menacing lettering through spiky terminals, ragged contours, and irregular widths, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over neutrality. It aims to deliver immediate genre signaling and a dramatic silhouette for display typography.
The most distinctive effect comes from the consistent use of dagger-like terminals and slightly warped stems, which create strong texture at headline sizes. In longer settings the busy outlines and narrow interior spaces can accumulate darkness, so generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve clarity.
