A condensed, heavy display face built from chunky, uneven strokes with rough edges and frequent drip-like terminals that hang below the baseline and from interior counters. The silhouette reads as hand-inked and irregular, with small nicks and bite marks along verticals and curves that create a mottled texture. Counters are relatively tight and often partially obstructed by the distressed shaping, while curves and joins stay blunt rather than sharp. Spacing appears compact and somewhat inconsistent by design, reinforcing a jittery rhythm that favors impact over refinement.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as titles, posters, event flyers, game/stream graphics, and themed packaging where the distressed drips can read clearly. It performs particularly well at large sizes and with ample contrast against clean backgrounds; for longer passages or small UI text, the dense texture can reduce legibility.
The font projects a classic horror-prop tone: messy, viscous, and unsettling, like wet paint or oozing ink. Its exaggerated drips and torn contours add a playful shock value that feels at home in seasonal, haunted, or monster-themed settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror cue through dripping terminals and distressed contours while maintaining recognizable letterforms for headline readability. Its condensed proportions help set tight, punchy titles, and the intentionally uneven rhythm adds an uneasy, handmade feel.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same dripped, eroded vocabulary, producing a cohesive texture in mixed-case text. Numerals match the style with similar hanging terminals and rough apertures, keeping the overall color dense and attention-grabbing.
