A jagged, blackletter-inspired display face with chunky stems and abrupt, chiseled terminals. The outlines feel deliberately uneven, with sharp notches, wedge-like serifs, and occasional inward bites that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are compact and often angular, while rounded forms (like O and C) retain pointed shoulders and tapered joins. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, giving the text a lively, hand-cut rhythm rather than a mechanically regular texture.
Best used for display typography such as horror or Halloween titles, posters, and promotional graphics where atmosphere matters more than prolonged legibility. It also fits game UI headers, band or album branding, and packaging or labels that want an occult or medieval-tinged edge. Pair with a simple sans or sturdy serif for supporting text to keep layouts readable.
The letterforms project an eerie, old-world atmosphere—more haunted manuscript than clean Gothic revival. Its spurs and broken edges read as ominous and dramatic, evoking horror titles, cursed artifacts, and macabre storytelling. The texture is aggressive and attention-grabbing, with a playful creepiness that suits seasonal and cinematic themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a spooky, blackletter-leaning voice with intentionally roughened contours, prioritizing character and mood over neutrality. Its varying widths and carved-looking details suggest a desire for handcrafted energy and cinematic impact in headline settings.
In paragraphs, the sharp interior cuts and busy silhouettes create a dense, flickering texture, making it better suited to short bursts than long-form reading. Numerals follow the same notched, angular language, helping headings and date lines keep a consistent mood.
