A heavy, blocky display face with rounded outer corners and broad, simplified counters. Many glyphs feature irregular, torn-looking terminals and hanging drip shapes, creating a distressed silhouette while keeping a largely geometric, upright skeleton. The lowercase follows the same chunky construction with a compact, sturdy stance, and the numerals match the same blunt, poster-like proportions. Overall spacing reads as display-oriented, with uneven edge texture providing most of the rhythm and movement.
Best used large for short headlines, titles, and punchy callouts where the dripping texture can be clearly seen. It suits Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction branding, horror podcast or video thumbnails, and stylized game or streaming overlays; for longer text, it works more as a sporadic accent than a body face.
The dripping, ragged edges push a spooky, tongue-in-cheek tone that feels at home in horror-comedy and seasonal graphics. It reads bold and attention-seeking rather than refined, giving headlines a slimy, mischievous energy.
The design appears intended to deliver instant novelty impact by pairing a sturdy, readable block structure with exaggerated drip and tear effects. It prioritizes silhouette and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for a theatrical, monster-movie feel in display settings.
The drip details are integrated unevenly across glyphs, producing intentional irregularity and a handmade, splatter-like finish. Diagonals and points (notably in V/W/X/Y) stay comparatively crisp, which helps maintain legibility despite the distressed bottoms and occasional interior bite marks.
