A compact, heavy display face with tall, condensed proportions and mostly upright construction. Strokes are chunky and confident, but the terminals are intentionally irregular, breaking into drips and torn-looking notches that create a wet-ink or melting-paint effect. Curves stay broad and rounded while straight stems remain firm, producing a strong silhouette with uneven, distressed edges. Letterfit appears tight and purposeful, with simple counters and a rhythm driven more by mass and texture than by clean geometry.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as horror posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, and dramatic headlines for streaming thumbnails or social graphics. It can also work for game titles or UI moments where a spooky, stylized label is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking classic horror title cards, haunted-house signage, and creature-feature posters. The dripping texture adds a sense of creepiness and motion, while the simplified forms keep it legible enough to feel punchy rather than purely chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate impact with a recognizable horror-drip motif while preserving straightforward letter shapes for quick reading. Its condensed build helps fit bold headlines into limited space, and the consistent distressing supplies the thematic character without requiring additional ornament.
The drip treatment is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a cohesive “melting” texture line to line. The face reads best when given room to breathe; at smaller sizes the distressed edges can visually fill in and reduce clarity.
