A heavy display face built from irregular, blobby strokes with frequent drips, notches, and torn-looking terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with uneven contours and a hand-inked silhouette, creating an intentionally unstable rhythm across the line. Counters tend to be small and organic, and joins often swell and pinch unpredictably, giving the alphabet a carved-from-ink feel. Widths vary noticeably by glyph, and the overall color is dense and dark with minimal internal sparkle.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween posters, haunted attraction promos, and eerie event flyers. It also works well for game titles, streaming thumbnails, and album or merch graphics where a bold, dripping silhouette needs to read quickly. Use at larger sizes to let the irregular edges and drip details carry the atmosphere.
The font projects a classic horror mood—wet ink, slime, and shadow—balanced with a playful, B-movie sensibility. Its messy edges and droplet details suggest decay and suspense rather than refined elegance, making it feel loud, theatrical, and intentionally rough.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-made, bleeding ink or melting shapes, prioritizing silhouette and atmosphere over clean typographic regularity. It aims to deliver instant genre signaling through drips, ragged terminals, and uneven stroke mass while remaining sturdy enough for headline use.
In longer text the jagged perimeter and heavy fill create strong texture, while small counters and irregular apertures can reduce legibility at smaller sizes. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same drippy, distressed logic as the capitals, keeping the tone consistent across the set.
