A heavy, slanted display face with irregular, brush-like strokes and frequent drip terminals that hang below the baseline. Letterforms are compact and energetic, with uneven contours, pinched joins, and tapered ends that create a wet-ink silhouette. Counters are small and often distorted, while curves and diagonals wobble slightly, giving the set a deliberately rough, handmade rhythm. Numerals follow the same blobby, dripping construction, keeping a consistent horror-ink texture across the character set.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween posters, event flyers, game titles, album art, and themed packaging. It also works well for punchy headings on social graphics where the dripping silhouette can read clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, evoking ooze, ink splatter, and classic horror title cards. Its exaggerated drips and jittery edges read as intentionally messy and playful rather than refined, making it feel like a Halloween prop or a retro creature-feature poster.
The design appears intended to simulate thick, wet ink or slime applied quickly with a brush, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality. Its irregular outlines and drip motifs are built to signal genre immediately and to create a strong, graphic stamp in display settings.
The texture varies from glyph to glyph, with some letters appearing more eroded or drippy than others, which adds to the organic, hand-rendered effect. The slant and dense black massing make spacing feel lively and uneven in a way that supports display use.
