A heavy, condensed display face with irregular, hand-cut silhouettes and uneven stroke edges. Terminals often taper into droplet-like points, and many glyphs show splatters and pinholes that create a blotched, ink-stained texture. Counters are inconsistent and sometimes partially filled, with lumpy curves and jagged joins producing a restless rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing the handmade, distressed look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween posters, indie game title screens, album/EP artwork, and edgy event flyers. It can work for logos or chapter heads where a grimy, dripping texture is part of the concept, rather than for extended body copy.
The font projects a grimy, spooky energy with a mischievous edge—like wet ink, slime, or paint drips. Its roughness feels intentionally unruly and theatrical, leaning toward horror and punk aesthetics while staying cartoonish enough for playful, offbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic smeared or dripping ink with deliberate distressing, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over neutrality. Its irregular construction and splatter details aim to create immediate visual character for expressive, themed display typography.
At text sizes the distressed texture becomes a dominant feature, with small holes and splatters adding noise that can reduce clarity in longer passages. The uppercase appears especially imposing and totemic, while the lowercase maintains the same drippy texture with a slightly softer presence.
