A heavy, condensed display face with upright stance and tall lowercase proportions. Letterforms are built from simple, chunky silhouettes, then aggressively distressed with irregular, dripping terminals and torn-looking edges that hang below the baseline. Strokes stay mostly monoline in feel, but the ragged cutouts and nicks create sharp internal notches and uneven contours that add visual noise. Counters are tight and rounded, with occasional asymmetries and bite marks that keep the rhythm unsettled while remaining legible at headline sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, event flyers, and packaging where the dripping texture can read clearly. It works particularly well for seasonal Halloween graphics, horror and thriller branding, and entertainment headlines where a distressed, menacing tone is desired.
The dripping, eroded bottoms and jagged edges evoke classic horror poster lettering and haunted-house signage, leaning into an eerie, messy energy. It reads as playful-spooky rather than solemn, with a pulpy, B-movie intensity that suggests slime, ink runs, or melting paint.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror atmosphere through exaggerated weight, narrow proportions, and dramatic dripping distress. It prioritizes thematic impact and silhouette recognition over clean text typography, functioning as a texture-forward headline font.
In the sample text, the texture becomes a strong graphic element, producing a dark, noisy line when set in longer phrases. The condensed width and heavy color make it attention-grabbing, but the distressed details can visually fill in at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
