A condensed, heavy display face with rounded, softened stems and irregular, organic edges. Many glyphs terminate in downward drips and teardrop-like protrusions, creating a wet-ink silhouette and uneven baseline texture. Counters are generally small and often partially occluded by the rough interior shaping, while strokes stay mostly monoline in feel with localized swelling and pinched joins. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly inconsistent sidebearings that enhance the handmade, distressed look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the drips and ragged edges can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging callouts, and on-screen graphics for horror or thriller themes. It works especially well at larger sizes and with generous spacing or leading to keep the textured silhouettes from visually clumping.
The type conveys a horror-forward, suspenseful tone—more slime-and-ink than razor-sharp gothic. The dripping terminals and blotted edges suggest decay, ooze, and grime, giving headlines a haunted, B-movie intensity that reads as theatrical and ominous rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate “dripping ink/blood” effect within a compact, headline-friendly width, prioritizing mood and texture over clean readability. Its consistent ooze-like terminals and distressed contours aim to make any wordmark feel cinematic and unsettling at a glance.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same dripping motif, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals echo the same droplet terminals, and punctuation (like the exclamation point and ampersand in the sample) carries the distressed treatment so the tone stays cohesive in display lines.
