A condensed display face built from tall, upright letterforms with firm vertical stems and occasional flared terminals. Many glyphs end in sharp, tapering points or irregular, drip-like notches that create a ragged silhouette while keeping the counters relatively open. Stroke edges are intentionally uneven, with small serrations and hanging spur details that repeat across caps, lowercase, and numerals for a consistent distressed rhythm. Overall spacing appears tight and vertical, with narrow bowls and compact joins that emphasize height and tension in the texture of a line.
Best suited to short-form display settings where texture and mood are the priority: film and event posters, title cards, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction signage, spooky product packaging, and themed social graphics. It can also work for chapter headings or pull quotes in horror or fantasy projects, where the distressed terminals add atmosphere without requiring elaborate illustration.
The font projects a classic horror tone—dark, theatrical, and slightly tongue-in-cheek—evoking dripping ink, carved wood, or torn paper. Its pointed terminals and irregular bottoms add suspense and menace, while the consistent structure keeps it readable enough for bold, punchy messaging. The overall feel suits spooky storytelling and retro fright aesthetics more than subtle editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror-flavored impact through a condensed, high-contrast silhouette and a consistent system of drips and spikes. By pairing a stable, upright skeleton with distressed edges, it aims to stay legible at headline sizes while still reading as deliberately eerie and theatrical.
The drip and spike motifs are most pronounced on curved characters and at baseline terminals, producing a jagged underline effect in text blocks. Capitals and lowercase share the same condensed skeleton, which helps headlines feel cohesive even with mixed case. Numerals mirror the same tapering and distressed treatment, supporting cohesive date and price setting in themed layouts.
