A condensed, hand-drawn display face with uneven stroke edges and frequent drip-like terminals that extend below the baseline. Strokes show a rough, inked texture with slight wobble, creating irregular contours and occasional sharp points, while counters remain relatively open for a horror style. Letter widths vary noticeably, producing a restless rhythm; verticals often feel pulled downward by tapered, hanging ends. Overall spacing reads tight and compact, emphasizing a tall, narrow silhouette and a jagged, distressed finish.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as titles, logotypes, poster headers, event promotions, and packaging where an eerie, dripping texture is desirable. It performs well in large display settings and on high-contrast backgrounds, where the rough terminals and distressed edges can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The font conveys a grim, unsettling tone—like wet ink, grime, or something oozing—balanced with a playful B-movie sensibility. Its drips and rough edges evoke suspense, danger, and supernatural or slasher-era horror without becoming fully abstract. The overall effect is theatrical and attention-grabbing, designed to feel uneasy and alive.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror cue through dripping terminals, roughened edges, and condensed proportions, creating a compact, punchy headline presence. Its controlled consistency across glyphs suggests a deliberate, stylized distress meant for themed display work rather than neutral reading text.
Uppercase forms tend to be more rigid and poster-like, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and texture, enhancing the handmade character. Numerals match the same dripped, distressed language and read best at larger sizes where the terminal details remain clear.
