A heavy, ink-like display face with blobby contours and intentionally uneven outlines. Strokes swell and taper unpredictably, with occasional pointed terminals and droplet-like protrusions that create a wet, melting silhouette. Counters are small and irregular, and the overall rhythm is jagged rather than geometric, with noticeable letter-to-letter variation that reinforces a handmade feel. Uppercase forms read as chunky and compact, while lowercase shows simplified, bouncy shapes with modest ascenders and descenders and a generally squat presence.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as titles, poster headlines, packaging callouts, and thematic branding for haunted attractions or seasonal events. It also works well in entertainment contexts like horror-comedy game screens, stream overlays, or album artwork where a visceral, inky texture is part of the message.
The texture and drips evoke classic horror and Halloween signage, mixing creepiness with a mischievous, cartoonish energy. Its irregular ink flow and sharp flicks suggest something gritty and uncanny, suited to themes of slime, monsters, and supernatural mischief rather than polished sophistication.
Designed to deliver immediate atmosphere through exaggerated weight, organic distortion, and drip-like details, prioritizing character and mood over neutrality. The consistent inky silhouette across letters and numbers suggests an intention for bold headline use where a spooky, hand-rendered look is desirable.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the small counters and ragged edges don’t fill in. Numerals match the same inky, uneven construction, keeping a consistent tone across alphanumerics. The face has a strong black mass on the line, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous breathing room.
