A condensed display face with stark stroke contrast and a generally upright stance. Letterforms are built from narrow stems and compact counters, with many terminals stretched into long, ink-like drips and needlepoint tapers that extend below the baseline. Curves are tightened and slightly irregular, and joins often pinch into sharp points, giving the silhouette a scratchy, eroded rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and vertical, with occasional width swings across characters that heighten the quirky, handmade look.
Best used for short, attention-grabbing display typography such as horror or Halloween headlines, haunted-event promotions, poster titles, and themed packaging. It can also work for album/film titles or social graphics where a strong, spooky texture is desirable, but it’s less suited to long-form text due to the extreme terminals and contrast.
The font reads as ominous and playful at once, combining horror-poster drip effects with a lanky, cartoonish energy. Its pointed descenders and melting terminals suggest darkness, danger, and spectacle, making it feel suited to seasonal or genre-driven themes rather than neutral communication.
The design appears intended to create a distinctive, creepy atmosphere through exaggerated vertical proportions and dripping, tapering terminals that mimic melting ink or slime. Its irregular details and sharp points prioritize mood and character over typographic neutrality, aiming for instant visual recognition in display contexts.
The dripping detail becomes prominent at larger sizes, where the thin hairlines and tapered ends show clearly; in smaller settings these features may collapse into texture. Capitals tend to dominate with tall, spear-like verticals, while lowercase retains the same haunted, droplet-terminal motif for a consistent voice.
