A heavy display face with rough, torn silhouettes and irregular ink-like edges. Strokes end in sharp spikes and occasional drip forms, creating a carved-and-splattered look with strong, uneven counters and notches. The outlines wobble intentionally rather than following smooth curves, and the rhythm across words feels uneven and organic, as if stamped, burned, or eroded. Numerals and punctuation follow the same distressed treatment, maintaining a consistent horror-texture across the set.
Best suited for large-size headlines where the drips and jagged edges can read clearly—film or podcast titles, Halloween and haunted-attraction promotions, horror game branding, and punchy poster or flyer copy. It also works well for labels, stickers, and social graphics when you want an instantly creepy, distressed voice.
The font reads as ominous and gritty, with a pulp-horror, haunted-house energy. Its spiky drips and ragged texture evoke decay, slime, and unease, while still feeling playful enough for genre-themed entertainment rather than purely realistic gore.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through aggressive texture: rough, eroded outlines, spiky terminals, and drip-like details that imply something unsettling and messy. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact over typographic neutrality, aiming to turn any word into a themed graphic element.
The distressed perimeter is the dominant stylistic feature, and it remains prominent even at larger sizes, where the drips and bites in the outline become part of the letterforms’ character. In longer lines, the irregular edges create a lively, noisy texture that can overwhelm fine layout detail, favoring short bursts of text over continuous reading.
