A heavy display face built from compact, slightly irregular letterforms with rounded bodies and abrupt, jagged terminals. Many strokes end in drip-like points and torn edges, creating a distressed silhouette while maintaining consistent stem thickness. Counters are relatively small and simplified, and curves are chunky with occasional notches and bite marks that interrupt smooth outlines. Spacing feels tight and the rhythm is uneven by design, emphasizing the textured perimeter over clean typography.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where the dripping texture can read as a deliberate effect—posters, headers, logos, thumbnails, and seasonal or horror-themed promotions. It performs particularly well at large sizes and in high-contrast color pairings where the jagged edges remain visible.
The overall tone is horror-leaning and theatrical, evoking classic spooky title cards, haunted-house signage, and B-movie poster lettering. The drips and spikes suggest ooze, decay, or shadowy forms, giving text a playful-but-sinister energy rather than a purely brutal one.
This font appears designed to deliver immediate genre signaling through silhouette: thick, compact shapes for bold presence, combined with dripping and torn terminals to create a spooky, distressed finish. The goal is to prioritize atmosphere and recognizability over neutrality or long-form readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, dripping finish, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive. Numerals and punctuation carry the same distressed edge treatment, which keeps the texture consistent across headline-style compositions.
