A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular outlines and pronounced drip terminals that pull downward from stems, bowls, and cross-strokes. Forms are upright and mostly monoline in feel, but with strong local contrast created by swollen blobs, pinched joins, and sharp, tapering spikes. Counters are simplified and sometimes partially occluded by internal spur shapes, giving letters a distressed, melting silhouette. Spacing appears relatively open for a horror style, with variable character widths and uneven edge rhythm that reinforces a hand-formed, liquid look.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as horror and Halloween posters, haunted house or event flyers, game or film titles, album/merch graphics, and spooky packaging. It can also work as an accent face paired with a clean sans for readable body copy.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, evoking wet paint, slime, or bleeding ink. Its exaggerated drips and jagged tapers lean into classic horror poster energy with a playful, pulpy edge rather than restrained dread.
The design intention appears to be a bold horror display with a consistent dripping-ink motif, prioritizing mood and texture over neutrality. It aims to deliver immediate genre signaling and high visual impact in headline settings.
Numerals and lowercase follow the same dripping vocabulary, helping maintain consistency across mixed-case headlines. The texture is strongest at larger sizes where the droplet details and ragged edges remain distinct; at small sizes, the interior cut-ins and drips may visually merge.
