A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and irregular, eroded outlines that break into drips and torn-looking notches. Strokes alternate between sturdy vertical stems and thinner connecting joins, creating a punchy light–dark rhythm. Curves are slightly lumpy and organic rather than geometric, and counters stay reasonably open so letters remain identifiable despite the distressed edges. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with many glyphs showing downward “ooze” or icicle-like extensions at the baseline.
Best suited to display typography where mood-setting is the priority: horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, spooky party invitations, and dark-fantasy or thriller packaging. It can also work for short UI headings in games or streaming thumbnails where immediate genre signaling matters more than extended readability.
The overall tone is sinister and theatrical, evoking haunted signage, cursed manuscripts, and classic monster-movie title cards. The dripping details read as slime/ink/blood, while the spiky serifs add tension and bite. It feels playful in a macabre way—designed to signal horror, mystery, and dark fantasy at a glance.
The font appears intended to combine a traditional serif skeleton with dramatic decay—using drips, spikes, and uneven contours to suggest something corrupted or supernatural. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and recognizable letterforms while layering on a consistent horror texture for cinematic impact.
In the sample text, the distressed treatment shows up as intentional edge breakup rather than random noise, giving repeated letters a cohesive personality. The design is strongest at larger sizes where the drips and ragged terminals can be read as texture, while tighter sizes may compress the interior detail in letters with smaller counters.
