A tall, tightly compressed display face with angular, chiseled strokes and sharp wedge terminals. The letterforms keep a mostly consistent stem weight but show hand-drawn irregularities in edges, joins, and counters, giving a rough-hewn rhythm rather than geometric precision. Shapes are generally narrow with elongated verticals, compact bowls, and occasional hooked or notched details; spacing feels slightly uneven in a way that reinforces the drawn character. Numerals follow the same narrow, pointed construction and read as stylized rather than strictly utilitarian.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, titles, packaging, and cover art where a dark, stylized voice is desired. It can also work for game titles or UI headings in fantasy/horror themes, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking poster lettering with a gothic or occult flavor. Its spiky silhouettes and jittery details feel energetic and a bit menacing, leaning toward horror, fantasy, and underground zine aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-rendered, gothic-leaning display look with high personality, prioritizing silhouette and atmosphere over neutral readability. Its narrow build and sharp terminals suggest a focus on fitting impactful headings into tight spaces while maintaining a dramatic presence.
The font’s identity relies on distinctive terminals and interior notches, so it tends to look best when allowed to stay large enough for those details to remain clear. The compressed proportions create strong vertical texture in lines of text, producing a dense, dramatic color.
