A heavy, inked display face built from chunky, rounded forms with irregular, distressed edges. Strokes feel brushy and wet, with frequent drips and notches that create torn counters and uneven terminals. The letterforms are compact and upright in stance, with a tall x-height and simplified geometry that prioritizes silhouette over precision; widths vary slightly, reinforcing a hand-made rhythm. Numerals match the same blotted texture and softened corners, keeping a consistent, poster-like density across the set.
Best suited to display applications where atmosphere matters: horror-comedy titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction signage, game and stream graphics, and punchy poster headlines. It also works as a texture accent in logos or packaging when paired with a cleaner supporting text face.
The overall tone is spooky and mischievous—more haunted-house fun than solemn terror. Drips and blotting suggest slime, ink, or melting paint, giving the text an unsettling but approachable energy that reads well in short bursts. The imperfect contours add grit and urgency, like a quick warning scrawled onto a sign.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through dripping, blotted texture and bold silhouettes. By combining rounded, cartoon-like construction with distressed edges, it aims for high-impact readability at large sizes while projecting a spooky, slime-ink personality.
Texture is a primary feature: internal voids and edge breakups are prominent, so the face benefits from generous sizing and contrasty color use. The distressed details can visually merge at small sizes or in long paragraphs, where the dark mass and irregular counters reduce clarity.
