A condensed display face with heavy, ink-saturated strokes and irregular, torn contours. Terminals frequently taper into small drips and jagged nicks, giving the silhouettes a melted or eroded edge. Counters are small and uneven, and the baseline rhythm wobbles slightly due to varying bottom drips and rough feet, while the overall construction stays upright and legible. The texture reads as distressed and organic, as if stamped or painted with imperfect coverage rather than drawn with clean geometric precision.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as Halloween promotions, horror and thriller titles, haunted attraction signage, event posters, and cover art where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also works well as a flavor accent in packaging or social graphics when paired with a simpler text face for longer copy.
The letterforms project a spooky, B-movie horror energy—part haunted-house signage, part pulp poster. The dripping terminals and ragged outlines evoke decay, slime, and unease, but with a playful, theatrical edge rather than a restrained, high-end menace.
The design intent appears to be delivering an immediately recognizable horror mood through distressed, dripping contours while keeping the underlying letter structures straightforward enough for punchy headline readability.
Spacing appears tight and compact, emphasizing dense black shapes and strong word silhouettes. Numerals match the same distressed treatment and feel suited to headlines where texture is a feature, not a flaw.
