This typeface uses jagged, knife-like strokes with pointed terminals and irregular, hand-cut contours. Letterforms lean on angular construction and faceted curves, with subtle stroke swelling and tapering that creates a carved, brushy rhythm. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven texture; counters are often tight and polygonal, and joins tend to form abrupt corners rather than smooth curves. Numerals and capitals share the same spurred, notched geometry, helping the set read as a cohesive display style.
Well-suited for horror-flavored titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, and dramatic poster headlines. It can also work for game interfaces, chapter openers, or packaging where a sharp, supernatural voice is needed and legibility can be secondary to mood.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, evoking ominous signage, folkloric magic, and horror titles without relying on drips or overt effects. Its sharp edges and restless rhythm feel tense and energetic, while the handmade irregularity adds a mischievous, campy edge.
The design appears intended to mimic hastily carved or cut lettering—sharp, irregular, and expressive—delivering an immediate eerie impact at display sizes while maintaining a consistent spiky motif across the alphabet and numerals.
In text lines, the many spikes and notches create strong word-shapes and high visual noise, making it best suited to short bursts rather than sustained reading. The uppercase is particularly dramatic, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-in, angular vocabulary for continuity.
