A condensed, monoline display face with upright posture and deliberately irregular contours. Strokes terminate in small drips and ragged notches, creating a wet-ink or melting silhouette, while counters stay mostly open and simple. Rounded-rectangle forms appear in several capitals and figures, mixed with sharper, knife-like joins in letters such as A, K, V, and W, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade, distressed texture in text settings.
Best suited to display sizes where the dripping edges can be appreciated—posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, game or stream titles, and themed packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy in invitations or social graphics, but the distressed details may soften at very small sizes or on low-resolution output.
The font reads as spooky but lighthearted—more haunted-house signage than grim horror. Its drips and rough edges suggest slime, decay, and B-movie creepiness, while the simplified shapes keep it approachable and readable for short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through dripping terminals and roughened edges while maintaining straightforward letter construction for quick recognition. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for strong headline impact in themed settings.
Capitals tend to feel taller and more rigid, while lowercase has a looser, wobblier cadence with occasional exaggerated drips on descenders. Numerals echo the same melting treatment, making them visually consistent for titles, dates, or episode numbers.
