A sharp, angular display face with chiseled, wedge-like strokes and pronounced tapering at terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic, knife-cut rhythm with frequent pointed spurs and notches, creating a jagged silhouette even in rounded characters. Contrast is driven by thin hairline entries and exits against heavier main strokes, and spacing feels intentionally irregular, with varying glyph widths that add an unsettled texture in words. The lowercase is compact with small counters and brief extenders, while numerals echo the same carved, bladed construction.
Best used for short, high-impact lines such as horror titles, poster headlines, game or Halloween branding, and dramatic chapter or section headers. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a carved, occult flavor is desired, but it is less suited to long-form reading because the jagged terminals create a busy text texture.
The font projects an ominous, spellbook-like tone—dramatic and slightly archaic, with an aggressive edge. Its spurs and tapered cuts suggest danger and tension, making text feel like it’s been scratched or carved rather than written. Overall it reads as darkly theatrical, suitable for horror and mystery atmospheres without relying on drips or gooey effects.
The design appears intended to mimic carved or blade-cut lettering with a gothic, spellbook sensibility, emphasizing pointed terminals, incised joins, and a tense rhythm. Its goal is immediate atmosphere: a readable but stylized display face that signals menace and mystery at a glance.
At paragraph sizes the dense texture and busy terminals can overwhelm, but at larger sizes the distinctive spikes and incised details become the main feature. The strongest visual identity comes from the repeated wedge terminals and the slightly uneven, hand-cut cadence across the alphabet.
