A heavy display serif with sharply notched, thorn-like terminals and irregular, carved-looking contours. Strokes show pronounced contrast and a strong vertical backbone, while bowls and counters are compact and sometimes pinched by triangular intrusions. Serifs are short but aggressive, flaring into points and hooks that create a jagged silhouette; curves often end in barbed tips rather than smooth terminals. The texture is intentionally uneven, with distressed nicks and bite-marks that make the letterforms feel cut from dark, inky shapes rather than drawn with clean geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game branding, poster headlines, and packaging where an eerie, distressed presence is desirable. It can also work for chapter openers or pull quotes when used with generous spacing and large sizes.
The overall tone is ominous and story-driven, evoking haunted signage, cursed manuscripts, and vintage horror title cards. Its barbed edges and distressed texture add tension and drama, giving even simple words a foreboding, supernatural charge.
The design appears intended to fuse a traditional serif framework with deliberately menacing, thorned detailing and distressed edges, creating a strong silhouette that signals danger and mystery at a glance. It prioritizes atmosphere and character over neutrality, aiming for immediate genre recognition in display settings.
The set reads best at larger sizes where the small notches and interior bites remain clear. In dense text blocks the spiky terminals and tight counters can build a dark, noisy texture, which is effective for atmosphere but can reduce readability for long passages.
