A decorative serif with heavy, dark strokes and aggressively roughened contours that read like torn paper or dry-brush ink. Forms are condensed with compact counters and irregular interior voids, creating a mottled, worn texture across both stems and bowls. Serifs and terminals are sharp and triangular, often flaring into thorn-like points, while curves are visibly chiseled rather than smooth. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with intentional edge breakup and small notches that add a distressed print feel.
Best suited for short display settings where its distressed edges and thorny terminals can do the work—titles, headers, posters, packaging, and branding for horror, fantasy, or occult themes. It can also add grit to event graphics and streaming thumbnails, but the heavy texture makes it less appropriate for long passages or small UI text.
The texture and spiky finishing give the face a horror-leaning, supernatural tone—equal parts haunted poster and old cursed manuscript. It suggests tension and drama, with a handmade roughness that feels gritty, eerie, and theatrical rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly thematic, distressed blackletter-adjacent mood without strict historical construction, prioritizing dramatic silhouettes and rough print texture. Its consistent edge erosion and pointed terminals aim to create a bold, eerie voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase letters tend to be more sculpted and emblematic, while lowercase forms keep the same rugged treatment but feel slightly more text-like in flow. Numerals are similarly distressed and bold, with high visual weight that holds up well at display sizes where the rough detail can be seen clearly.
