A rough, ink-splattered display face with heavy, uneven strokes and frequent tapering into spikes and drips. Counters are irregular and often pinched, with lumpy curves and slightly wobbly verticals that mimic a brush or marker under imperfect control. Edges appear torn or melted, creating an organic silhouette rather than clean geometry. Width and spacing vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a restless rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, packaging accents, streaming thumbnails, and title treatments for horror or dark-fantasy themes. It can also work for themed signage and party collateral where legibility at small sizes is less critical than atmosphere.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror props, haunted-house signage, and creature-feature title cards. Its irregular drips and sharp tapers add tension and a sense of decay, while the handmade wobble keeps it playful enough for campy or seasonal uses.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-painted lettering that has aged, bled, or melted, combining thick brush mass with drippy, spiked terminals for immediate genre signaling. Its intentional inconsistency prioritizes mood and texture over typographic regularity.
Uppercase forms tend to be tall and narrow with exaggerated vertical stress, while lowercase retains similar texture and irregular terminals for consistency. Numerals follow the same blobby, distressed construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings maintain the same spooky texture.
