A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brushy outlines and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are chunky but uneven, with torn edges, small notches, and occasional inward bites that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are generally compact and sometimes lopsided, and the overall rhythm is intentionally unstable with varying character widths and slightly inconsistent baselines that enhance the rough, organic feel. Numbers and capitals carry the same blotty, distressed construction, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Best suited to short display settings where the distressed edges and drip terminals can be appreciated—titles, logos, posters, and packaging for horror or Halloween-themed projects. It can also work for game UI headers or streaming thumbnails when used with generous size and spacing to preserve the shapes.
The letterforms project a spooky, grimy energy—like wet ink, slime, or paint pulling downward as it dries. Its roughness reads as deliberately unsettling and theatrical, evoking horror poster lettering and haunted-house signage while still feeling lively and animated.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-painted or brush-lettered forms with a deliberate dripping/distressed treatment, prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over regularity. Its consistent grunge texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests it’s built for impactful, themed display typography.
At text sizes the interior texture and ragged edges can close in and create dense dark areas, while at larger sizes the drips and torn contours become the primary visual feature. The most distinctive moments are the tapered, downward pulls and jagged “rips” along verticals and bowls, which give the font a strong silhouette-led presence.
