A heavy, ink-soaked display face with rough, torn contours and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes appear brushy and uneven, with blotches and splatter artifacts extending beyond the main outlines, creating an intentionally distressed silhouette. Counters are generally compact and sometimes irregular, while joints and serifs (where present) break into spikes, nicks, and smears. The overall rhythm is energetic and noisy, prioritizing texture and impact over clean geometry.
Best suited for short headlines and prominent display copy where texture is desirable—posters, packaging, thumbnails, and themed promotional materials. It works well when paired with a clean sans for supporting text and given generous size and spacing to preserve the distressed details.
The font projects a classic horror-prop mood—like wet ink, old posters, or something dragged out of the dark. Its drips and splatters add a sense of messiness and threat, while the playful exaggeration keeps it readable enough for theatrical, pulpy scares rather than realism.
Designed to evoke dripping ink and battered print with an exaggerated, theatrical scare aesthetic. The intent is strong visual character and immediate atmosphere, using splatter and ragged edges as a primary stylistic device for punchy, themed typography.
Uppercase forms feel more blocky and poster-like, while lowercase letters retain the same distressed treatment with simpler, more compact shapes. Numerals carry consistent grunge detailing and maintain strong presence at display sizes. The distressed perimeter is a core part of the design, so edges will visually “buzz” on light backgrounds and can fill in at small sizes.
