This typeface is a sharply broken blackletter with tall, compressed proportions and a jagged, distressed edge throughout. Stems are narrow and upright, with pointed terminals and irregular nicks that create a torn, thorn-like silhouette. Curved forms are faceted rather than smooth, and counters stay tight, reinforcing a dense texture at text sizes. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same fractured, blade-like detailing, producing a consistent, aggressive rhythm across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, haunted event posters, metal or dark-ambient album art, and game or streaming graphics that need an eerie blackletter voice. It can also work for logos or wordmarks when set large with extra spacing to keep the spiky detailing readable.
The overall tone is dark and unsettling, evoking cursed manuscripts, ritual signage, and horror title lettering. Its brittle spikes and roughened contours give it a dangerous, weathered presence that reads as ominous and theatrical rather than refined or historical.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional blackletter foundation with deliberate damage and thorny exaggeration, prioritizing atmosphere and menace over neutrality. Its consistent distressed cuts and pointed terminals suggest a goal of creating an instantly “cursed” display texture for themed headlines and branding.
In longer lines, the narrow width and compact counters create a high-density color that can feel intense; the distressed micro-detail becomes more prominent at larger sizes and can visually fuse in small settings. The design rewards generous tracking and use as display type where the jagged texture can be appreciated.
