A distressed display face with irregular, ink-like strokes and abrupt tapering that creates sharp, uneven terminals. The letterforms mix chunky, filled areas with thin, scratchy contours and occasional interior streaks, producing a blot-and-drip silhouette. Rounds are often partially outlined or fractured, while verticals show streaking and broken edges that suggest wet ink pulling downward. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a handmade, deteriorated look over typographic precision.
Best used at large sizes where the drips, fractures, and high-contrast stroke behavior can be read clearly—such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house signage, game or streaming thumbnails, and album/merch graphics. It works well for short phrases, headlines, and logotypes where mood is more important than continuous-text readability.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, haunted signage, and ritualistic ephemera. The drips and ragged edges read as messy, visceral, and slightly chaotic, giving the font a tense, suspenseful energy suited to dark storytelling.
The design appears aimed at delivering an immediate horror-flavored atmosphere through ink-drip texture and unstable contours, turning simple letterforms into expressive silhouettes. Its inconsistent widths and distressed detailing prioritize character and impact, mimicking hand-rendered lettering affected by smear, decay, or dripping paint.
The texture is baked into the shapes rather than applied as a uniform overlay, so each glyph carries its own pattern of streaks and breaks. Numerals and capitals lean more graphic and poster-like, while the lowercase stays playful but still maintains the smeared, inky character across the set.
