A condensed, heavy display face with chunky, irregular silhouettes and frequent drip-like terminals that taper into thin, ragged points. Strokes are mostly vertical and upright, with uneven edges and wobbly counters that create an intentionally distressed rhythm. The baseline feels unstable due to downward “ooze” details on many glyphs, while bowls and interior spaces remain relatively tight, producing a compact, poster-ready texture. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the set reads as a cohesive, deliberately messy cutout/ink-bleed style rather than a clean geometric design.
Well-suited to display settings where immediate mood matters: horror or Halloween promotions, haunted attraction graphics, movie or video title cards, game UI headers, and themed event flyers. It performs best for short headlines, logos, and punchy phrases rather than long-form text, especially when set with generous line spacing to accommodate the descenders.
The font projects a classic horror tone—sticky, ominous, and theatrical—evoking slime, blood drips, and haunted-house signage. Its exaggerated drips and blunted shapes lean toward playful fright and B-movie title energy rather than subtle tension, making it feel attention-grabbing and sensational.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through dripping terminals, roughened contours, and compact proportions, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality. It aims to be a ready-made effect font that can anchor a composition with a strong, recognizable horror texture.
Capitals and lowercase share the same distressed logic, with many letters finishing in pointed drips that extend below the baseline. Numerals follow the same treatment, keeping the texture consistent across alphanumerics. Readability holds best at larger sizes where the dripping detail can resolve without filling in.
