A sharply slanted serif italic with high-contrast strokes and tapering, calligraphic modulation. Stems and curves are frequently interrupted by forked spurs and thorn-like terminals, producing a jagged silhouette and an intentionally uneven texture. Counters tend to stay fairly open despite the distressed detailing, while joins and cross-strokes show abrupt angles and hooked finishes. Spacing reads moderately loose in the sample text, with noticeably irregular edge rhythm driven by the ornamental burrs and ink-break artifacts.
Best suited to short display settings where its thorny terminals and distressed texture can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging accents, or logo wordmarks in dark-fantasy or horror contexts. It can work for pull quotes or brief phrases, but extended paragraphs will feel busy as the spur detail accumulates.
The overall tone is dark, theatrical, and archaic, evoking spellbook lettering, horror titles, and haunted Victorian ephemera. Its scratchy, blotted details add a sense of age and menace, turning ordinary words into something ominous and ceremonial.
The design appears intended to merge a classic italic serif structure with deliberately corrupted, spurred terminals and distressed inking, creating a legible yet sinister display face. The consistent slant and contrast provide a familiar text skeleton, while the forked ornamentation supplies the distinctive, narrative atmosphere.
Uppercase forms feel more emblematic and aggressive, with stronger spur activity and more dramatic terminals, while lowercase keeps a faster italic handwriting flow but still carries frequent nicks and hooks. Numerals and round letters show interior scarring and speckling that reads like worn print or distressed inking, which becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
