A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular silhouettes and frequent tapered terminals that stretch into spikes and drips. Strokes are blunt in the main bodies but often end in needle-like points, creating a jagged baseline rhythm and uneven edges throughout. Counters are generally small and sometimes pinched, while curves (O, C, e) stay rounded but look slightly swollen and organic. Widths and internal spacing vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a rough, distressed consistency rather than geometric precision.
Best suited to short-form display settings where texture and mood are more important than clean readability: horror posters, Halloween promotions, escape-room branding, game titles and UI labels, album/film titling, and attention-grabbing packaging or stickers. It can work in brief phrases or logos, but the irregular edges and tight counters make long paragraphs less comfortable at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror title cards, haunted-house signage, and pulp monster imagery. Its dripping tips and sharp descenders suggest something wet, eerie, and unstable, while the chunky weight keeps it loud and poster-like. The irregular rhythm reads as intentionally unruly, adding suspense and a touch of playful camp.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror atmosphere through exaggerated spikes, dripping terminals, and uneven, hand-inked contours. Rather than aiming for typographic neutrality, it prioritizes dramatic silhouettes and an unsettling rhythm that reads instantly as themed display lettering.
Uppercase forms tend to feel more emblematic and chunky, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and uneven joins, which increases texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same dripping/tapered logic, making them stylistically cohesive for headlines and short callouts.
