A stylized serif with sharp, chiseled terminals and pronounced stroke contrast, combining pointed wedge-like serifs with irregular, brush-cut edges. The letterforms lean with a calligraphic slant and show lively, uneven stroke endings that create a jagged silhouette, especially in diagonals and curved joins. Counters are generally open but often pinched by inward hooks and flared terminals, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a hand-drawn rhythm. The lowercase appears compact with a relatively small x-height and tall, narrow ascenders, while figures follow the same spurred, tapered construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where atmosphere matters most: horror and fantasy titles, Halloween or event branding, game interfaces for dark or magical worlds, and punchy poster headlines. It can work for short bursts of text such as taglines or pull quotes, but the aggressive terminals and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels ominous and theatrical—like carved lettering for dark folklore, potion labels, or haunted signage. Its sharp points, hooked strokes, and restless texture suggest magic, danger, and old-world mystery rather than neutrality or everyday readability.
Likely designed to deliver a spooky, hand-crafted feel by mixing calligraphic slant with sharp, carved-looking serifs and exaggerated tapers. The set prioritizes expressive silhouettes and dramatic contrast to create immediate thematic impact at medium to large sizes.
In text, the uneven stroke endings and variable glyph widths create a bouncy, animated texture with strong word-shape character. The ampersand and several capitals feature extra flourish and interior curls that read as decorative accents, reinforcing the display-oriented personality.
