A condensed display face built from heavy, ink-like silhouettes with irregular, dripping terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but break into sharp notches and scalloped edges, creating a rough, eroded contour. Counters are small and uneven, with occasional interior holes and gnawed-away bites that add texture. The baseline presence is strong, while many letters trail downward with drip shapes, giving the set an intentionally messy rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short display settings such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed posters, haunted attraction signage, and punchy title cards. It also works well for packaging or labels that want an ooze/creature vibe, and for social graphics where strong texture needs to read quickly at large sizes.
The letterforms evoke classic horror and haunted-house graphics—oozing, sticky, and slightly comedic rather than purely brutal. Its rough edges and dripping bottoms create a sense of suspense and grime, lending an intentionally low-fi, B‑movie energy that reads as spooky at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through bold, condensed silhouettes paired with dripping, distressed contours. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact over neutrality, offering a consistent “wet ink/ooze” texture that can carry a full headline without additional effects.
Spacing appears tight and the dense silhouettes can close up in smaller sizes, especially where counters are pinched. The dripping details vary from glyph to glyph, adding visual movement in headlines while keeping the overall texture cohesive across lines of text.
