A condensed display face with tall, upright proportions and stark, ink-heavy strokes that break into tapered points. Many terminals extend into irregular drips and icicle-like tails, creating a jagged baseline rhythm and a distressed silhouette. Counters are kept relatively simple and open for the style, while joins and stroke endings often sharpen into spikes, giving the letterforms a cut-out, scratchy finish. The overall texture is high-impact and uneven by design, with deliberate roughness and vertical emphasis across both caps and lowercase.
Ideal for horror and suspense titling where atmosphere matters most—posters, streaming thumbnails, game menus, book covers, haunted attraction signage, and Halloween promotions. It also suits short brand marks or product names that benefit from a chilling, distressed edge rather than everyday readability.
The font reads as ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror poster lettering, haunted-house signage, and slasher-title typography. Its drips and needle-like tapers suggest blood, melting ink, and cold, wet surfaces, producing an unsettling, suspenseful tone that leans more dramatic than subtle.
The design appears intended as a punchy, condensed headline font that communicates fear and tension through dripping terminals, sharp tapers, and a deliberately rough, hand-rendered finish.
In longer lines the repeated drips create a strong visual pattern and can dominate the page, so it works best when given room to breathe. Numerals and capitals carry especially bold silhouettes that hold up well at headline sizes.
