A heavy, condensed display face with chiseled silhouettes and irregular, drip-like terminals. Strokes stay broadly monolinear but are broken up by jagged nicks, tapered points, and uneven edges that create a torn, hand-cut look. Counters are relatively small and dark, and the overall texture is dense, with frequent downward spikes that add a wet-ink or melting effect. Letterforms remain mostly upright and recognizable, balancing blocky stems with sharp, bite-like notches and occasional angular flares.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, title cards, and packaging where the ragged drips can read clearly at larger sizes. It also works well for themed graphics in games, streaming overlays, and seasonal promotions, but the dense texture can overwhelm in small body copy.
The font reads as theatrical and ominous, evoking classic haunted-house signage and B‑movie monster titles. Its dripping details and rough contours project tension and danger while staying playful enough for seasonal, pop-culture horror.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror cue through dripping terminals and distressed contours, while keeping the underlying letter skeletons straightforward for quick recognition. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over smooth curves and typographic neutrality.
The distressed perimeter is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a strong, noisy texture in longer lines. Spikes and drips vary from glyph to glyph, so the rhythm feels intentionally uneven and animated rather than polished or geometric.
