A heavy, right-leaning display face with brush-like strokes and irregular, torn-looking terminals. Many glyphs feature downward drips and notched edges that create a wet-ink, slashed silhouette, while counters stay mostly open and readable at larger sizes. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: stroke endings vary in length and texture, and widths fluctuate from letter to letter, reinforcing a hand-drawn, distressed impression.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed titles, haunted-attraction signage, streaming thumbnails, and game UI or splash screens. It works especially well when set large with generous spacing, where the drips and ragged terminals can read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical—more haunted-house signage than subtle dread. The drips and ragged edges suggest ooze, slime, or ink bleeding, giving the font a pulpy, horror-poster energy with a playful edge.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through dripping terminals and rough, brush-cut contours, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality. Its consistent distressed treatment across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive, ready-made horror display typography.
Uppercase forms stay relatively compact and punchy, while lowercase introduces more pronounced descenders and drip details that add motion. Numerals and punctuation carry the same distressed, dripping treatment, helping headlines and short phrases feel cohesive.
