A rough, distressed display face with irregular outlines and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are generally heavy with jagged edges, creating a cut-and-torn silhouette rather than clean geometry. Curves are lumpy and uneven, counters stay fairly open for a horror texture, and many letters end in pointed, downward spikes that suggest melting ink or claw marks. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a handmade, uneasy rhythm in text.
Best suited for short headlines and punchy display settings such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed titles, posters, and packaging. It can work for game interfaces or streaming thumbnails when used large with generous tracking, but the distressed edges make it less appropriate for long passages or small-size body text.
The overall tone is eerie and playful-menacing, evoking classic horror posters, haunted-house signage, and B-movie title cards. The dripping details add a sense of grime and suspense, while the rounded interiors keep it readable enough to feel theatrical rather than truly sinister.
This design appears intended to deliver instant horror atmosphere through drips, spikes, and distressed contours while keeping letterforms recognizable. The variability and roughness feel deliberately crafted to mimic handmade lettering or degraded print textures for dramatic, attention-grabbing typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially pronounced drips on rounded forms and bottoms of strokes. Numerals follow the same gnawed, melting motif, and the font’s irregular contours create strong contrast against light backgrounds in large sizes.
