A heavy, display-oriented serif with chunky stems and compact counters, shaped by irregular, torn-looking contours. Many strokes end in small drips and notches, giving terminals a distressed, melted edge while keeping overall letterforms upright and sturdy. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with slight width and shape variation that adds a hand-cut rhythm rather than mechanical precision. Numerals follow the same treatment, reading clearly while retaining the ragged, horror-prop finish.
Best suited to large-scale display use such as posters, Halloween promotions, game or film title cards, haunted attraction signage, and themed packaging. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the textured edges are likely to overwhelm long passages at smaller sizes.
The font conveys an eerie, theatrical tone—more haunted-house marquee than subtle dread. Its dripping details and rough silhouette suggest monster-movie titles, spooky signage, and playful macabre themes where impact and mood matter more than typographic neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror-theme signal through consistent dripping terminals and roughened outlines while preserving recognizable, robust letter shapes. It prioritizes punchy readability in headings alongside a stylized, prop-like distress.
Despite the distressed edges, the silhouettes remain fairly simple and high-contrast against the background, helping short words and headings stay legible. The drips are concentrated along the baseline and some lower curves, creating a gravity-pulled effect that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
