A condensed, heavy display face with irregular, hand-hewn outlines and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are largely vertical and monolinear in feel, but edges wobble and notch, creating a rough silhouette with small spikes and dangling ink forms. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and joins often look carved rather than mechanically smooth, giving the letters a worn, organic texture. Overall spacing reads tight and the rhythm is lively due to alternating straight stems and uneven, tapered endings.
Best suited to short display settings where the dripping silhouette can read clearly: posters, titles, packaging accents, social graphics, and seasonal or horror-themed promotions. It works particularly well at larger sizes, where the rough contours and dangling terminals become a key part of the visual identity.
The font projects a classic haunted-house tone—dark, theatrical, and intentionally distressed—while keeping a slightly humorous, cartoon-horror edge. Its drips and jagged contours evoke slime, blood, or torn paper, making the mood ominous without becoming overly realistic.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a condensed, high-impact skeleton paired with deliberate drips and ragged edges. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over neutrality, aiming for memorable, spooky headline typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same roughened construction and narrow stance, helping headings feel cohesive. The irregular edge treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, so the texture reads as a deliberate stylistic system rather than random noise.
