A condensed display face with tall proportions and irregular, jagged stroke endings that create a thorny silhouette. Stems are mostly straight and upright, with medium contrast and frequent tapered terminals that pinch into points or flare into uneven wedges. Curves are slightly kinked and asymmetrical, giving counters a tense, hand-cut feel rather than smooth geometry. Overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with narrow letter bodies and occasional width shifts that enhance the distressed texture in words and lines.
Best suited for headlines and short phrases where the jagged texture can carry mood—such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, Halloween promotions, game and film key art, and striking packaging or poster work. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers when used with generous spacing and a simpler companion text face for readability.
The lettering reads as ominous and theatrical, evoking dark-fantasy and horror atmospheres. Its sharp hooks and ragged edges suggest tension and danger, while the narrow, towering forms add a claustrophobic, suspenseful tone. The overall impression is intentionally unsettling—more “cursed manuscript” than polished signage.
Likely designed to deliver an immediate spooky impact through condensed proportions and aggressively tapered, distressed terminals. The consistent spikiness across the character set suggests an intention to mimic hand-carved or ink-scraped lettering while staying structured enough for set-in-lines display use.
Spikes and notches appear consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive in longer text samples. The narrow structure keeps words compact, while the distressed terminals create a strong texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes and in high-contrast applications.
