A heavy, display-oriented face with irregular, hand-hewn contours and pronounced drip-like terminals. Strokes are thick and compact, with rounded, blobby masses interrupted by ragged bite-outs and torn edges that create a distressed silhouette. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and curves show lumpy modulation rather than smooth geometry. Overall spacing feels irregular and organic, with varied sidebearings that enhance a chaotic, handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house signage, streaming thumbnails, and game or event branding. It can also work for chapter headers, stickers, and social graphics where a drippy, distressed headline is the focal point.
The texture reads immediately as horror and Halloween: gooey, leaking, and slightly grotesque, but with a playful, comic-book edge rather than pure brutality. Its uneven outlines and drips suggest slime, ink bleed, or melting paint—ideal for building suspense, shock, or campy fun.
Designed to evoke a melting, dripping ink/paint effect with rough, distressed edges, prioritizing immediate thematic recognition and bold presence. The irregular rhythm and uneven internal shapes appear intentionally uncontrolled to amplify an eerie, handmade feel.
The font’s character comes primarily from its silhouette, so it performs best at larger sizes where the ragged perimeter and drip details remain clear. In continuous text, the dense shapes and uneven counters create a deliberately noisy color, emphasizing atmosphere over extended readability.
