A condensed display face with heavy, inked-in stems and irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes end in sharp points and hanging drips, creating a silhouette-driven rhythm where verticals dominate and interiors stay relatively tight. The texture is intentionally uneven—counters, terminals, and shoulders look bitten-away or melted—while overall letterforms remain legible and consistently constructed across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used for short display settings such as titles, posters, flyers, packaging callouts, and social graphics where a spooky tone is desired. It works especially well when given ample size and contrast so the drips and ragged edges read clearly; for longer text, the dense silhouettes and texture are more effective as accents than as continuous body copy.
The font projects a classic horror atmosphere: eerie, unsettling, and theatrical rather than subtle. Its drip-and-spike detailing reads like wet ink, slime, or decay, giving headlines a B-movie fright energy that suits seasonal and genre-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated, dripping terminals and distressed contours while preserving recognizable letter skeletons for headline readability. Its condensed proportions and high-impact silhouettes suggest it was drawn to fill space efficiently in posters and titles while maintaining a strong horror-themed personality.
Caps and lowercase share the same distressed language, helping mixed-case setting feel cohesive. Numerals adopt the same pointed feet and dripping terminals, keeping date- or price-driven copy stylistically aligned. The strong vertical emphasis and heavy black shapes make the design feel assertive, especially at larger sizes where the edge detail becomes a key feature.
