A decorative display face built from sharply tapered strokes and jagged, thorn-like terminals. The letterforms mix blackletter-inspired structure with irregular cut-ins and notches that create a distressed silhouette. Vertical stems are narrow and blade-like, while joins and bowls often show abrupt angles and pinched counters, producing a crisp, carved rhythm. Spacing appears moderately open for a novelty style, with uneven edge texture that reads as deliberate chipping rather than blur or softness.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror and dark-fantasy title treatments, posters, trailers, and event promotions. It also fits album/merch graphics and game or tabletop branding where an aggressive, ritual-like texture is desirable. Use sparingly for longer copy, or increase size and tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is menacing and arcane, evoking horror titles, occult cues, and dark fantasy ephemera. Its spiky contours and abrupt cuts add tension and urgency, giving words a sinister, ceremonial feel. The texture suggests something etched, cursed, or corrupted—dramatic rather than playful.
The design intention reads as a dramatic, blackletter-adjacent display font that prioritizes atmosphere over neutrality. Its exaggerated spikes, carved notches, and high-tension stroke shapes appear crafted to signal danger, mystery, and the supernatural at a glance.
At text sizes the consistent thorned terminals create a strong, repeating edge pattern that can visually dominate long passages; it performs best when given air and contrast against clean backgrounds. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with the same angular logic and pointed finishing throughout.
