A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face with heavy vertical stems and irregular, torn-looking terminals. Many strokes end in downward drips and tapered spikes, giving the silhouettes a wet-ink, melting edge while keeping the counters relatively clear. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow proportions and a slightly uneven baseline feel created by the dangling descenders and ragged bottoms. Curves are chunky and compact (notably in O/C/G), and straight strokes often show nicks and bite marks that read like distressed cutouts.
Best suited to short headlines and titles for horror, Halloween, haunted attractions, and thriller-themed graphics. It works well on posters, cover art, packaging, and game or stream title cards where the dripping texture can be a central visual cue. For longer text, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The dripping terminals and jagged edges create an immediate horror-poster tone—dark, suspenseful, and deliberately unsettling. It also carries a playful, B-movie theatricality that can swing from spooky-fun to more ominous depending on color, scale, and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver an instant “dripping ink/blood” effect in a compact, poster-ready silhouette. Its narrow build maximizes impact in tight spaces while the distressed terminals provide the thematic signal without complex letterforms.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the drips and torn edges read as texture rather than noise. The numerals match the same dripping motif, and punctuation in the sample appears consistent with the overall distressed, inky treatment.
