A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face with heavy black strokes and intentionally uneven contours. Letterforms are built from simple, blocky structures but rendered with ragged edges, irregular curves, and frequent droplet-like terminals that hang below the baseline, creating a wet-ink or paint-drip effect. Counters are small and often lopsided, stroke joins are blunt, and curves show rough, torn silhouettes. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing the handmade, distressed rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short display settings such as horror-themed posters, Halloween promotions, game or streaming title cards, and attention-grabbing packaging or sticker designs. It can also work for album covers or event flyers where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is eerie and mischievous, with a gritty, homemade horror feel. The dripping terminals and battered outlines suggest suspense, slime, and B-movie creepiness, while the playful inconsistency keeps it from feeling too formal or gothic.
The font appears designed to deliver instant thematic impact through distressed, dripping silhouettes—evoking liquid ink or ooze—while keeping letter structures familiar enough for quick recognition in bold headlines.
The design relies on silhouette character more than interior detail, so it reads best at larger sizes where the rough perimeter and drips are clear. Numerals and punctuation in the sample text keep the same irregular, dripping vocabulary, supporting cohesive headline and poster use.
