A condensed, heavy display face with uneven, hand-cut contours and pronounced drip-like terminals. Strokes are thick but irregular, with sharp notches, occasional pinched joins, and small teardrop descenders that create a distressed silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and slightly misshapen, and curves look carved rather than geometric. Overall spacing feels tight and the rhythm is choppy, emphasizing texture over smooth continuity.
Best suited to large-size display settings such as horror posters, Halloween promotions, game or film titling, album art, and attention-grabbing event flyers. It can also work for short packaging callouts or social graphics where an eerie, dripping texture is the main visual hook, rather than for long-form reading.
The dripping edges and ragged silhouettes evoke classic horror signage and haunted-house ephemera, with a playful, B-movie menace. It reads as intentionally messy and ominous, more theatrical than realistic, lending a lurid, suspenseful tone to short statements.
Designed to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated drips, jagged edges, and condensed, forceful letterforms. The emphasis is on graphic impact and texture, creating a strong silhouette that feels like wet ink or melting paint while remaining legible in short headlines.
Capital forms are generally taller and more imposing, while lowercase retains the same dripping treatment and irregular baseline feel. Numerals follow the same distressed logic, keeping the set visually consistent for titling and date/episode-style usage. The texture becomes a dominant feature at smaller sizes, where interior details and drips can visually merge.
