A condensed display face with heavy, blocky strokes and irregular, distressed contours. Terminals end in sharp spikes and tapering points, with frequent downward “drip” extensions that create a wet-ink or melting silhouette. Counters are compact and uneven, and the edges appear rough-cut rather than smooth, producing a lively, noisy texture across words. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with occasional quirky width shifts and uneven baseline behavior that enhance the handmade, horror-prop feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween headlines, movie or episode titles, game splash screens, haunted attraction signage, and promotional graphics. It can also work for packaging or labels that want a spooky, pulp-poster attitude, but it’s less appropriate for body copy due to the heavy texture and dripping terminals.
The letterforms project an eerie, theatrical mood—equal parts haunted-house signage and vintage monster-poster energy. Its dripping spikes and torn edges suggest danger and decay, making text feel ominous and playful at once rather than refined or neutral.
This design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through dripping, jagged terminals and a distressed silhouette, prioritizing atmospheric impact over neutrality. The condensed build and strong vertical emphasis help it read as a bold title face while the irregular edges add hand-crafted menace.
In longer lines the repeated drips create a strong bottom texture that can visually crowd descenders and punctuation, so generous line spacing helps. The condensed proportions keep headlines compact while the distressed details stay legible at larger sizes.
