A slanted, heavy display face with a brush-like construction and consistently distressed contours. Strokes end in sharp, tapered points and irregular ragged edges, with frequent downward drips that create a wet-ink or melting paint impression. Letterforms are compact and tight, with uneven stroke boundaries and slightly inconsistent widths that add a handmade rhythm. Counters tend to be small and somewhat irregular, and the numerals follow the same tapered, dripping treatment for a cohesive texture across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where atmosphere is more important than long-form readability. It fits horror and Halloween branding, haunted-house signage, spooky event flyers, streaming thumbnails, game title screens, and any design needing a distressed, dripping display voice.
The font projects an eerie, late-night energy with a pulpy horror feel, mixing menace with a playful, theatrical edge. Its dripping terminals and scratchy outlines suggest decay, slime, or ink bleed, making the tone feel intentionally unsettling rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, aggressive brush lettering that has been distressed and made to drip, prioritizing texture and mood over precision. Its consistent use of tapered points and melting edges aims to deliver instant genre signaling and high-impact display presence.
The texture is strong enough that readability drops at small sizes, but it becomes a clear advantage at larger display sizes where the drips and torn edges can be appreciated. The slant and lively stroke endings add motion, helping short words and headings feel urgent and animated.
