A condensed display face built from tall, sharp silhouettes with aggressive tapers and uneven stroke edges. Most stems read as heavy verticals that end in pointed tips, with frequent drip-like terminals and small burrs that create a distressed, hand-rendered ink feel. Curves are simplified into narrow bowls and tight counters, and the overall rhythm is jagged and irregular, emphasizing verticality and serrated detail rather than smooth continuity. Numerals and lowercase follow the same elongated, splattered construction, keeping a consistent “melting” terminal motif across the set.
Best suited for short display settings where atmosphere matters more than comfortable reading: Halloween promotions, horror or thriller title cards, haunted attraction signage, and dramatic poster headlines. It also works well for badges, stickers, and packaging accents that benefit from a dripping, “cursed” texture.
The font projects a classic haunted-house mood—dark, theatrical, and intentionally unsettling. Its drips and thorny edges evoke horror posters, monster-movie titles, and spooky seasonal ephemera, with a slightly playful, camp sensibility rather than realism.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror flavor through exaggerated vertical forms and dripping terminals, creating a recognizable spooky texture at a glance. Its consistent distressed treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on cohesive headline styling for themed graphics.
At text sizes the distressed details become the dominant feature, so spacing and readability feel more like a texture than a conventional reading face. The narrow proportions make it especially forceful in stacked lines and tight columns, where the vertical spikes and drips create a dense, ominous pattern.
