A sharp, thorned display face with condensed proportions and irregular, carved-looking contours. Strokes are heavy and taper into pointed terminals, with frequent triangular nicks and spur-like protrusions that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are tight and uneven, and diagonals and joins feel slightly skewed, giving the line a restless, forward-leaning rhythm. Overall spacing is compact and the texture is dark and assertive, prioritizing silhouette impact over smooth typographic refinement.
Best suited to display settings where dramatic texture is an asset: horror and Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, dark fantasy or metal-themed artwork, game title screens, and punchy poster headlines. Use at larger sizes to preserve the interior shapes and keep the jagged detailing from clogging in reproduction.
The letterforms project a sinister, horror-leaning tone—like scraped metal, thorned vines, or ritual markings. Its jagged edges and aggressive points read as ominous and theatrical, lending an unsettling, supernatural atmosphere to short phrases and titles.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through spiked terminals, distressed edges, and a compact, high-contrast silhouette. It favors expressive menace and handcrafted roughness to create a strong, memorable title voice.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality, with pronounced spikes and angular notches; lowercase retains the same bite but reads more uneven and handmade in long text. Numerals match the sharp, cut-in styling and keep the same dense, high-impact color, making the set feel cohesive for headline use.
