A heavy, inked display face with chunky silhouettes and an intentionally distressed edge. Letterforms mix straight, poster-like stems with rounded bowls, while terminals break into uneven drips and small gouges that create a wet, melting contour. Counters are generally open but vary in size, and the baseline frequently sprouts dangling droplets, producing a jittery rhythm and uneven color across words. The overall construction stays mostly upright and readable, with width and internal details shifting from glyph to glyph for a handmade, horror-prop feel.
Best used at display sizes for Halloween promotions, haunted-house flyers, horror movie titles, and game or stream graphics where the drips can read clearly. It also works for short bursts of text—headlines, labels, and punchy callouts—paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting copy.
The font evokes dripping paint, slime, or blood, delivering an immediate horror tone with a tongue-in-cheek, B-movie energy. Its exaggerated, messy endings and blotchy texture feel theatrical and attention-grabbing rather than subtle, making it well suited to spooky spectacle.
The design appears intended to provide instantly recognizable spooky atmosphere by combining bold, blocky letterforms with dripping, distressed terminals. Its irregular contours suggest a handcrafted effect aimed at dramatic themed headlines rather than refined, continuous reading.
In longer text, the repeated drip shapes create a strong vertical motion that can visually darken lines and reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The figures and capitals carry the same dripping treatment, helping titles and date numerals feel consistent in themed compositions.
