A jagged, inked display face with uneven stroke edges, sharp terminals, and occasional drip-like descenders that create a distressed silhouette. Letterforms are compact and mostly upright, with narrow internal counters and lively, inconsistent contours that feel brushy rather than geometric. The overall rhythm is intentionally irregular—stems wobble slightly, curves pinch and flare, and crossbars and joins vary to keep the texture noisy and animated. Numerals and capitals carry the same torn, tapering endings, maintaining a cohesive, scratchy black mass in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween titles, movie or event posters, game splash screens, stream overlays, and themed packaging. It also works well for logo-style wordmarks when a distressed, dripping texture is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long passages where the rough edges can reduce comfort and clarity.
The tone is spooky and theatrical, mixing menace with a pulpy, Halloween-poster energy. Its dripping tips and thorny edges suggest horror tropes—ooze, shadows, and scratch marks—while the bouncy irregularity keeps it readable enough to feel fun rather than purely brutal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic horror texture through torn contours and drip-like terminals, prioritizing expressive silhouette and mood over typographic neutrality. It’s built to read quickly as “spooky” from a distance while retaining enough letterform structure to function in bold display settings.
The font’s strong silhouette and textured edges create a heavy visual grain that can fill in at small sizes, especially in tight spacing or low-resolution output. It benefits from generous tracking and short lines where the irregular terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
