A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular, organic contours and pronounced drip-like terminals. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, producing jagged shoulders, uneven bowls, and occasional teardrop counters. The silhouettes feel hand-formed rather than geometric, with rough edges and lopsided curves that create a lively, distressed rhythm across words while remaining broadly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, horror or thriller title cards, event posters, haunted house signage, and game or streaming thumbnails. It works especially well when paired with simple supporting type and generous spacing to keep the drippy details from visually clumping.
The overall tone is creepy and theatrical—more haunted-house and monster-movie than realistic gore. Its wobbly, dripping shapes suggest ooze, slime, or melting paint, giving headlines a mischievous menace and a deliberately unpolished, spooky charm.
The design appears intended to deliver instant atmosphere through exaggerated weight and ooze-like terminals, evoking dripping ink and distressed, hand-cut lettering. It prioritizes character and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for dramatic, cinematic headline presence.
Counters tend to be small and irregular, and the texture becomes denser in long lines of text, which reinforces the inky, shadowy look. Numerals match the same melted, carved-out aesthetic and read best when given breathing room.
